  Check Existing Rules: Review the existing replication rules for the table in question. You can do this by navigating to the SLT configuration in the SAP GUI and checking the relevant settings for the table.
  Modify Existing Rules: If you need to change the replication behavior, you may need to modify the existing rules instead of trying to create new ones. This can typically be done in the SLT configuration interface.
  Delete Predefined Object: If you determine that the existing predefined object is no longer needed, you can delete it. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may affect ongoing replication processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for SLT to understand the implications of modifying or deleting replication rules and to ensure that you are following best practices.
