  Duplicate Object Name: The most common cause is that an object list with the same name already exists in the system.

  If it does exist and is not needed, you may consider deleting or renaming it.

  If you are creating a new object list, consider using a different name that does not conflict with existing objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If the error occurs during a transport, ensure that the transport request does not contain objects that already exist in the target system. You may need to adjust the transport request or resolve conflicts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are working with for any additional guidance.
