• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_NET067 - Network Object - &1 already exists in two Production networks ?

  The SAP error message GHO_NET067 indicates that a network object (such as a network or a network node) is already present in two different production networks. This situation typically arises in the context of SAP's Global Trade Services (GTS) or similar modules where network objects are used to manage and track various entities across different production environments.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Network Object: The primary cause of this error is that the same network object (identified by the placeholder &1 in the error message) has been created or defined in two separate production networks. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration or setup.
  Data migration issues where the same object is imported into multiple networks.
  Manual entry errors where the same object is created in different networks.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GHO_NET067 error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Network Configurations:
  
  Access the configuration settings for both production networks where the object exists. You can do this through the relevant transaction codes or configuration paths in SAP.
  
  
  
  Remove or Rename the Duplicate:
  
  If the object is not needed in one of the networks, consider deleting it from that network.
  If both instances of the object are required, you may need to rename one of them to ensure they are unique across the networks.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Before making changes, ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the network object that could be affected by its removal or renaming.
