• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EU067 - Type & is pre-defined ?

  The SAP error message EU067 ("Type & is pre-defined") typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a data element, domain, or other object in the ABAP Dictionary, and the type you are trying to use is already defined in the system. This error is common when working with data types, especially when you attempt to create a new type that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Pre-defined Data Types: The type you are trying to define already exists in the SAP system. SAP has a set of pre-defined data types, and if you attempt to create a new type with the same name or characteristics, this error will be triggered.
  Naming Conflicts: You may be using a name that is reserved or already in use by another object in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Types: Before creating a new type, check the existing data types in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11). Look for the type you are trying to create and see if it already exists.
  Use a Different Name: If the type you want to create is already defined, consider using a different name for your new type to avoid conflicts.
  Modify Existing Type: If the existing type meets your requirements, you can modify it instead of creating a new one.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or the ABAP Dictionary to understand the existing types and their usage.
