• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message JIT00210 - Display variant &1 already exists and will be overwritten ?

  The SAP error message JIT00210 indicates that a display variant with the specified name already exists in the system and that the action you are trying to perform will overwrite it. This typically occurs when you are attempting to save a display variant (for example, in a report or transaction) that has the same name as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Name: You are trying to create or save a display variant with a name that is already in use.
