  The SAP error message AUNIT_BROWSER019: Favorite already exists typically occurs when you attempt to create a new favorite in the SAP GUI or SAP Fiori Launchpad, but a favorite with the same name or URL already exists in your favorites list.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Favorites:
  
  Go to your favorites list in the SAP GUI or Fiori Launchpad.
  Look for the favorite that you are trying to add. If it exists, you can either use it or delete it if you no longer need it.
  
  
  
  Rename the Favorite:
  
  If you want to keep both entries, consider renaming the new favorite to something unique before adding it.
  
  
  
  Delete the Existing Favorite:
