• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLMM826 - Class & of class type & replaces other class of the same name ?

  The SAP error message CLMM826 indicates that there is a conflict with class types in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that a class of a certain name is being replaced by another class of the same name but of a different class type. This can occur in the context of class management, particularly when dealing with object-oriented programming in ABAP or when managing classification in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Class Name Conflict: The error typically arises when two classes with the same name exist but belong to different class types (e.g., one is a local class and the other is a global class).
  Namespace Issues: If the classes are defined in different namespaces, it can lead to confusion and conflicts.
  Transport Issues: If classes are transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), it may lead to overwriting or conflicts if not managed properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Rename Classes: If possible, rename one of the conflicting classes to ensure that there are no name clashes.
  Check Class Types: Verify the class types of the conflicting classes. Ensure that the intended class is being used in the relevant context.
  Namespace Management: Ensure that classes are defined in appropriate namespaces to avoid conflicts.
  Transport Management: Review the transport requests to ensure that classes are not being overwritten unintentionally during transports.
  Code Review: Review the code where the class is being instantiated or used to ensure that the correct class type is being referenced.
