• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB067 - Entry &1 already exists in another software component. ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB067 indicates that there is a conflict with a software component in the system. Specifically, it means that an entry you are trying to create or modify already exists in another software component.
