• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_20000081 - Report & already exists, use another name ?

  The SAP error message CNV_20000081 typically occurs during the execution of a conversion or migration process, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data migration tools. This error indicates that a report or object with the specified name already exists in the system, and therefore, the system cannot create a new report with the same name.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Report Name: The most common cause of this error is that a report with the same name already exists in the SAP system. This can happen if a previous migration attempt was not fully cleaned up or if multiple users are trying to create reports with the same name simultaneously.
  Naming Conflicts: If the naming convention used for reports does not ensure uniqueness, it can lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Different Name: The simplest solution is to provide a different name for the report you are trying to create. Ensure that the new name is unique and does not conflict with existing reports.
  Check Existing Reports: Before creating a new report, check the existing reports in the system to see if a report with the same name already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate search functionality.
  Delete or Rename Existing Report: If the existing report is no longer needed, you can delete it or rename it to free up the name for your new report.
  Review Migration Process: If this error occurs during a migration process, review the steps taken in the migration to ensure that there are no leftover artifacts from previous attempts that could be causing the conflict.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SE38 (ABAP Editor) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to manage reports and check for existing objects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
