• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CUST_UI060 - Business object of same name already exists ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CUST_UI060 indicates that there is an attempt to create or register a business object that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when you are trying to define a new business object with a name that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Business Object Name: The most common cause of this error is that you are trying to create a new business object with a name that is already assigned to another business object in the system.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a development environment and have transported objects to a different environment (like QA or Production), there might be conflicts with existing objects.
  Namespace Conflicts: If you are using a custom namespace, ensure that there are no conflicts with standard SAP objects or other custom objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Business Objects: 
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to search for existing business objects. Look for the name you are trying to use and confirm if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Business Object: 
  
  If you find that the business object name is already in use, consider renaming your new business object to a unique name that does not conflict with existing objects.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: 
  
  If you suspect that the issue is related to transport requests, check the transport logs and ensure that there are no conflicts with objects that have been transported.
  
  
  
  Namespace Management: 
  
  If you are working in a custom namespace, ensure that you are following the naming conventions and that your object names are unique within that namespace.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Object: 
  
  If the existing business object is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it or modifying it to avoid the conflict. However, be cautious with this approach as it may affect other parts of the application.
