  The SAP error message "OIUREP_ROY_REPORTING097 Job already scheduled in background by the user" typically indicates that a background job with the same parameters has already been scheduled by the user. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in reporting or data processing scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Job Scheduling: The user has attempted to schedule a job that is already in the queue or has been scheduled previously with the same parameters.
  Job Overlap: The job may still be running or in a status that prevents it from being rescheduled.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Check for any jobs scheduled by your user ID with the same name or parameters.

  Cancel Existing Job:

  Consult with Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about the job's purpose or if it is critical, consult with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for job scheduling in your organization.
