• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LRM371 - Object group &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message LRM371: Object group &1 already exists typically occurs when you are trying to create an object group (like a transport request, a variant, or a similar object) that already exists in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the creation of transport requests, object groups for authorization, or other similar operations.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that an object group with the same name or identifier already exists in the system.
  System Configuration: There may be a configuration issue or a misunderstanding of the naming conventions that leads to attempts to create a duplicate.
  Transport Management: If you are working with transport requests, it could be that the request is already in the system, and you are trying to create a new one with the same identifier.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Object Groups: Before creating a new object group, check if the object group with the specified name already exists. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) or SE09/SE10 (Transport Requests).
  
  
  Use a Unique Name: If you find that the object group already exists, consider using a different, unique name for the new object group you are trying to create.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Object Group: If the existing object group is no longer needed, you may delete it or modify it as per your requirements. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the process, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or development team.
  
  
  Check for System Locks: Sometimes, system locks or issues with transport management can cause this error. Ensure that there are no locks on the object group you are trying to create.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for relevant notes in the SAP Support Portal.
