• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE328 - Application &1 already exists and is not a local object ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE328 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an application (or object) that already exists in the system, and it is not a local object. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications, where the system is trying to create a new object with the same name as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Object: The application or object you are trying to create already exists in the system with the same name.
  Non-Local Object: The existing object is not a local object, meaning it is likely part of a transport or a standard object that is not meant to be modified directly.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a development environment, the object may have been transported from another system, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Objects: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the existing object. Ensure that you are not trying to create a duplicate.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Object: 
  
  If you need to create a new object, consider renaming it to avoid conflicts with the existing one.
  
  
  
  Use Local Objects: 
  
  If you need to modify the existing object, consider creating a local object (using the "local object" option in the development environment) to avoid conflicts with the standard object.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If the object is part of a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that the transport is correctly imported and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific application or object you are working with for any additional guidance.
