MS05 transaction throws "SQL error: error during INSERT (table: &)"

Question

Hi Team,
I am a BASIS engineer on MM system. we have a strange problem from customers we see an error on the MS05 screen with "SQL error: error during INSERT (table: &)" and when the support team runs MS01 transaciton this error gets resolved.
What I would like to know is what could be the likely cause of this error and how we can prevent it.
When I check the SM21 logs i noticed one log with "Transaction cancellation 61 204 ( PLAF )"
and under additional document section is the log I see the below information
Usually, the reason for this error is that an entry already exists
with the same key.
This problem can occur if the client was copied with the movement data
without adjusting the number range intervals.
Please check if the number ranges for this table have been set
correctly and, if necessary, correct the number range interval.
I am from BASIS and I have no clue in how the MM transactions are linked can any MM gurus help in identifying the root cause for this problem.
any help on this is highly appreciated
thanks
Vijay

Hi
Are MS05 & MS01 you're referring is a T-code?. if so, then they are associated with planning and a PP consultant can give a more clear picture on it. Try posting this to a PP forum.
Based on the error log, i guess this may arise because of the number range problem, when the document is getting saved and record is being tried to inserted into a table.
