• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_HRF087 - Output name &1 is not unique ?

  The SAP error message FDT_HRF087 indicates that the output name specified is not unique within the context of the system. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple output types or formats are defined with the same name, leading to ambiguity in processing.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Output Names: The most common cause is that there are multiple entries in the system with the same output name. This can happen if the same output type has been defined multiple times for different purposes or configurations.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the output management settings can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it might have resulted in duplicate entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Definitions:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., NACE for output types) and check the output definitions for the specific application area (e.g., Sales, Purchasing).
  Look for duplicate entries with the same output name and remove or rename the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you find that the output name is indeed duplicated, you may need to adjust the configuration to ensure that each output type has a unique name.
  Ensure that the output types are correctly assigned to the relevant processes.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport requests to ensure that they did not inadvertently create duplicates.
  If necessary, revert the changes or adjust the configurations in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to output management for specific guidance on resolving naming conflicts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
