  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create a new key figure category with a name that is already in use.

  Solution:
  To resolve the KDFUE068 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Key Figure Categories:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Look for the existing key figure categories to confirm if the one you are trying to create already exists.
  
  
  
  Rename or Modify:
  
  If the key figure category already exists and you need to create a new one, consider renaming your new key figure category to something unique.
  If you intended to modify the existing key figure category, proceed with the necessary changes instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Categories:
  
  If there are obsolete or unused key figure categories that you no longer need, you can delete them to free up the name for new categories. Be cautious with this step, as it may affect existing reports or data models.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If you are working in a development environment and transporting changes to a production environment, ensure that there are no transport issues that might have led to inconsistencies in the key figure categories.
