• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E1136 - View of IDoc type exists already ?

  The SAP error message E1136, which states "View of IDoc type exists already," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or register an IDoc type that already exists in the system. This can happen during the configuration of IDocs or when trying to create a new IDoc type that has the same name as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate IDoc Type: The most common cause is that the IDoc type you are trying to create already exists in the system.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, there may be a conflict if the IDoc type has already been transported or created in the target system.
  Development Errors: Sometimes, during development, multiple developers might inadvertently try to create the same IDoc type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing IDoc Types: 
  
  Use transaction code WE30 to check the existing IDoc types. Look for the IDoc type you are trying to create and verify if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing IDoc Type: 
  
  If the IDoc type already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing IDoc type instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete or Rename: 
  
  If the existing IDoc type is not needed, you can delete it (if permissible) or rename it to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If this issue arises during a transport, ensure that the transport requests are correctly managed and that there are no conflicts with existing objects in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to IDoc types for any specific guidelines or best practices.
