  You can also use transaction SE16 to view the contents of the table.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Entry:
  
  If the text already exists and is associated with a time unit that you do not need, consider modifying or deleting that entry if it is appropriate to do so.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Text:
  
  If the text is already in use and you need to keep it, consider using a different, unique text description for the new time unit you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for guidelines on creating and managing time units to ensure compliance with best practices.
