• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM075 - Data type &1 already exists in object &2 ?

  The SAP error message EM075 ("Data type &1 already exists in object &2") typically occurs when you are trying to create or define a data type in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) that already exists. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to create a new data element, domain, or structure that has the same name as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Definition: The most common cause is that the data type you are trying to create already exists in the system. This could be due to:
  
  A previous attempt to create the same data type.
  An existing data type in the same or another package.
  A naming conflict with standard SAP data types.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a development environment and have transported objects from another system, there may be conflicts with existing definitions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Definitions:
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the data type you are trying to create. Make sure to check both the local and global namespaces.
  If the data type already exists, you may need to use it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Data Type:
  
  If you need a new data type and the existing one does not meet your requirements, consider renaming your new data type to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If you suspect that the issue is due to transport requests, check the transport logs and ensure that there are no conflicts with existing objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Naming Conventions:
  
  Ensure that you are following the naming conventions and guidelines for your organization to avoid conflicts with standard SAP objects.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Object:
  
  If the existing data type is not needed, you may consider deleting it (if it is not used anywhere) or modifying it to suit your needs.
