EA480 - Details

• The SAP error message EA480 ("Basic type & exists already") typically occurs when you are trying to create a new basic type in the IDoc (Intermediate Document) configuration, but a basic type with the same name already exists in the system. This can happen during the development of IDocs when you are defining new structures for data exchange.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Basic Type: The most common cause is that the basic type you are trying to create already exists in the SAP system.

  Transport Issues: Sometimes, if you are transporting objects between systems, the basic type might already exist in the target system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Basic Types: Before creating a new basic type, check the existing basic types in the system. You can do this by navigating to transaction code WE30
