• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/EXP_CFG015 - Can not create Activity with duplicated IMG ID(&) ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/EXP_CFG015 Can not create Activity with duplicated IMG ID(&) indicates that there is an attempt to create an activity in the Implementation Guide (IMG) that has a duplicate ID. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a new activity or node in the IMG structure, but the ID you are using already exists.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate ID: The most common cause of this error is that the ID you are trying to use for the new activity already exists in the IMG structure.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration or oversight in the IMG where the same ID has been assigned to multiple activities.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a system where transports have been imported, there may be conflicts with existing IDs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing IDs: Before creating a new activity, check the existing IMG structure to ensure that the ID you want to use is not already in use. You can do this by navigating through the IMG and searching for the ID.
  Use a Unique ID: If the ID is already in use, choose a different, unique ID for your new activity.
  Review Configuration: If you believe the ID should not be duplicated, review the configuration to ensure that there are no errors or misconfigurations.
  Transport Management: If this issue arises after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that there are no conflicts with existing configurations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to IMG configuration for additional guidance.
