Symptom
During the migration of labour resource records, the update fails with the following error message:
"Assignment of job ABC to resource DEF for cost center OPQ already exists" (Where ABC, DEF, OPQ stands for relevant Job, Resource and Cost Center ID)
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Business Configuration work center
- Go to the Overview sub view
- Search for the activity Migration of Labor Resource
- Try to do the step execute migration for the relevant file
- In the simulate import steps, the error occurs.
Cause
The Labor Resource ID already exists in the system with the same details. For Labor Resource ID, the same job and cost center assignment is mapped to resource ID, hence there's an error.
Resolution
This is the expected system behaviour.
It is not possible to modify existing Labor Resource records via Migration. The Migration tool only supports the upload of new records.
Submit an enhancement request on the SAP Business ByDesign Customer Influence Forum to evaluate the possibility of including this functionality in a future release via link: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/886
