  The SAP error message "FMCA_ISR_EN601 Form bundle type &1 already exists" typically occurs in the context of the Interactive Forms (IF) functionality in SAP, particularly when dealing with form bundles in the SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (IFbA) framework. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or register a form bundle of a type that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Form Bundle: The most common cause of this error is that a form bundle of the specified type (indicated by &1) has already been created and exists in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the form bundle settings or an attempt to re-import a form bundle that has not been properly deleted or deactivated.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting form bundles between systems, there may be conflicts if the same bundle type exists in both the source and target systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Form Bundles: 
  
  Go to the transaction code SFP (Form Builder) and check the existing form bundles. Look for the bundle type indicated by &1 in the error message.

  Transport Management: 
  
  If this error occurs during a transport, ensure that the form bundle is not already present in the target system. You may need to adjust your transport requests accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Versions: 
  
  Ensure that there are no active versions of the form bundle that might be causing the conflict. You can check this in the Form Builder.
