  The SAP error message CFD_REPOSITORY_UTIL089 indicates that there is a conflict with a custom field you are trying to create or modify. Specifically, it states that the SOAP field name you are attempting to use is already in use within the specified namespace. This typically occurs when you are working with custom fields in the SAP Cloud Platform or SAP S/4HANA, particularly when integrating with external systems via SOAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Field Name Conflict: The SOAP field name you are trying to use for your custom field is already associated with another field in the same namespace. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a new custom field with a name that has already been defined.
  There is a naming collision with existing fields in the system or in the integration layer.
  
  
  
  Namespace Issues: The namespace you are using may already contain a field with the same name, leading to this conflict.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Fields: 
  
  Review the existing custom fields in the relevant namespace to see if the SOAP field name you want to use is already taken. You can do this through the SAP Fiori interface or the relevant configuration transaction.
  If you find a field with the same name, consider renaming your custom field to something unique.
  
  
  
  Rename the Custom Field: 
  
  If the field name is already in use, you will need to choose a different name for your custom field that does not conflict with existing names.
  
  
  
  Namespace Verification: 
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct namespace for your custom fields. If you are working in a multi-tenant environment, make sure that the namespace is unique to your tenant.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or the SAP Community for guidelines on naming conventions and best practices for custom fields.
