• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQV800 - User group & has already been created ?

  The SAP error message AQV800 indicates that a user group you are trying to create already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a user group with a name that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  The user group name you are trying to create is already present in the system.
  There may have been a previous attempt to create the user group, or it may have been created by another user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing User Groups:
  
  Before creating a new user group, check the existing user groups to see if the one you want to create already exists.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction code (e.g., SU01 for user management) and checking the user groups.

  Modify Existing User Group:
