• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQ201 - Query & has already been created ?

  The SAP error message AQ201, which states "Query & has already been created," typically occurs when you attempt to create a query that already exists in the system. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in reporting or query tools like SAP Query (SQ01).
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Query Name: You are trying to create a new query with a name that is already in use.
  Query Already Exists: The query you are trying to create has already been defined in the system, possibly by you or another user.
  Transport Issues: If queries are transported from one system to another, there may be conflicts with existing queries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Queries: Before creating a new query, check the list of existing queries to see if the one you want to create already exists. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the SAP Query transaction (SQ01).
  Searching for the query name in the list of existing queries.
  
  
  
  Rename the Query: If you find that the query already exists and you still want to create a new one, consider using a different name for your query.
  
  
  Modify Existing Query: If the existing query meets your needs, you can modify it instead of creating a new one. This can be done by:
  
  Selecting the existing query in SQ01 and making the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Queries: If there are obsolete or unused queries that you no longer need, you can delete them to free up names for new queries.
  
  
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify queries in the system.
