• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFX_GENERATION113 - Include &1 exists already ?

  The SAP error message AFX_GENERATION113, which states "Include &1 exists already," typically occurs during the generation of an ABAP program or when trying to create an include file that already exists in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to generate a new include file with the same name as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Include Name: The most common cause is that the include file you are trying to create already exists in the system with the same name.
  Development Environment Issues: Sometimes, issues in the development environment or transport requests can lead to this error.
  Incorrect Naming Conventions: If the naming conventions for includes are not followed, it may lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Includes: 
  
  Use transaction SE80 or SE38 to check if the include file with the specified name already exists. If it does, you may need to modify the existing include instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Rename the Include: 
  
  If you need to create a new include, consider renaming it to something unique that does not conflict with existing includes.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Include: 
  
  If the existing include is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations). Alternatively, you can modify it to include the new code you intended to add.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests: 
  
  If you are working in a transport request, ensure that the request is correctly configured and that there are no pending changes that might be causing the conflict.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Sometimes, the include might be locked by another user or process. Check for locks using transaction SM12 and release any unnecessary locks.
