• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AXT_MODEL183 - Object name &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message AXT_MODEL183, which states "Object name &1 already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create or define an object (such as a model, data source, or other entities) in SAP that has the same name as an existing object in the system. This can happen in various SAP modules, including SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Object Name: The most common cause is that the object name you are trying to create already exists in the system. This could be due to:
  
  A previous creation of the same object.
  An object that was imported or migrated from another system.
  A naming convention issue where similar names are used.
  
  
  
  Namespace Conflicts: If you are working in a multi-client environment or with different namespaces, there might be conflicts with object names.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Objects: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or the relevant transaction for the object type you are working with to search for the existing object with the same name.
  If you find the object, you can either modify it, delete it (if it is no longer needed), or choose a different name for your new object.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Object: If the existing object is valid and should remain in the system, consider renaming your new object to something unique.
  
  
  Review Naming Conventions: Ensure that your naming conventions are clear and avoid using generic names that might conflict with existing objects.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If you are working in a development environment and transporting objects to a production environment, ensure that the transport does not contain objects with the same name that might already exist in the target environment.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the object or its purpose, consult the relevant SAP documentation or your system administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for object management in SAP, such as SE11, SE80, SE37 (for function modules), and others depending on the object type.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
