Another process has already added the Detail item. The system will automatically Cancel your changes.

Screen: 04.250.00 (Purchase Order)

System Message 6908:
Another process has already added the Detail item. The system will automatically Cancel your changes.

Scenario:

In  a Purchase Order there are already details and I want to add a new detail then I get the system message 6908.
I cannot add anything. I found a workaround by deleting all the purchase order details, save the PO then add everything again. But this workaround is difficult if there are more than 10 records per PO.

Any help please.

    I got this error on The Voucher and Adjustment Entry Screen, it the transaction detail grid area. This screen is customized, and I am on version 2015CU2

    The SQL that is presented as a fix is not a complete solution. It works if there were no other modifications to the PO. If the PO had some lines deleted previously or if the bulk insert executed without properly updating the PURCHORD.LINECNTR column correctly. (I have seen SQL Server do this many times, the code is fine, but randomly it skips updating a column on the table.) By using the above SQL it will update based on number of records but not the actual Line counter stored in the database. This will totally screw up alot of POs (in my case it would have been over 19,000) with the wrong LineCntr value.

    Solution:

    1) Run this select statement first;

    Select

    h.PONbr, h.LineCntr,

    d.LineRef

    From PurchOrd h Left Outer Join PurOrdDet d On h.PONbr = d.PONbr

    Where h.PONbr = <EnterPONumberHere>

    Order by d.LineRef Desc

    2) The top row will show what the header thinks is the next free line number as LineCntr. But the LineRef will show a larger number (usually one more than the LineCntr but not always.)

    3) Run the following update statement to correct; (Use Begin Transaction and Rollback or Commit as appropriate.

    Update PurchOrd Set LineCntr = <EnterLineRefFromFirstRowAbove> Where PONbr = <EnterPONumberHere>

    Just wondering here - I see the update statement suggested here.  I am having the same issue.  Not sure if I should be correcting the code or does this update fix the problem going forward.

    A quick correction to Edward's SQL script which fixes the bulk insert related issue:

    update PurchOrd set LineCntr = isnull((select count(*) from purorddet where purorddet.ponbr = purchord.ponbr), 0)

    Too late to help you but this may help someone in the future.

    There is a field in PurchOrd called LineCntr, if it is less than the number of rows for the po in purorddet for that given po then it will gen this error by trying to assign the wrong linenbr and line ids to it. 

    so run:

    update PurchOrd set LineCntr = isnull((select count(*) from purorddet where purchord.ponbr = purchord.ponbr), 0)

    and that should clear it up

    Hi Perumalsamy,

    There is no trigger function during insertion but a violation of inserting a record that already exist through the index key PurchOrddet0 (ponbr, linenbr).

    Hi ZaiZai,

    Thanks for the information. I want to know that is there any Trigger functions during the PurOrdDet table insertion.

    Thanks,

    Perumalsamy.R
