  The SAP error message BSCL074 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view you are trying to create already exists in the system. This message typically occurs when you attempt to activate or create a CDS view with the same name as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Name: You are trying to create a CDS view with a name that is already in use by another CDS view or object in the system.
  Existing Object: The existing CDS view may have been created by another developer or as part of a standard SAP delivery.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, the CDS view might have been transported from another system, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Views:

  If you find it, you can either modify the existing view or choose a different name for your new view.

  If the existing view is not meeting your requirements, you can modify it if you have the necessary authorizations.

  Check Transport Requests:
