  The SAP error message GHO_BO010 indicates that there is a conflict with a network object ID that already exists for a functional location. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or assign a network object (such as a maintenance order, project, or other related object) to a functional location, but the ID you are trying to use is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Network Object ID: The most common cause is that the network object ID you are trying to create or assign is already associated with another functional location or network.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in data entry, leading to the attempt to create a duplicate ID.
  System Configuration: In some cases, system settings or configurations may allow for the creation of duplicate IDs, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Network Object IDs: 
  
  Use transaction codes like IL03 (Display Functional Location) or CN41N (Network Overview) to check if the network object ID already exists.
  If it does exist, you may need to use that existing ID instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Object: 
  
  If the existing network object ID is no longer needed, consider deleting or modifying it to free up the ID for your new entry.
  Ensure that any changes comply with your organization's data management policies.
  
  
  
  Use a Different ID: 
  
  If the existing ID is required, you will need to create a new network object with a different ID that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support: 
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
