  The SAP error message P0764, which states "Report & already exists in RDIR," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or register a report in the SAP system that already exists in the Report Directory (RDIR). This can happen during the process of report creation, modification, or transport.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Report Name: The report you are trying to create or register has the same name as an existing report in the RDIR.

  Check Existing Reports: Verify if the report name you are trying to use already exists in the RDIR. You can do this by using transaction code SE38 or SA38 to search for the report.
  Rename the Report: If the report name is already taken, consider renaming your report to a unique name that does not conflict with existing reports.

  Transport Management: If this issue arises during a transport, ensure that the transport request does not contain duplicate entries. You may need to adjust the transport request or resolve conflicts in the target system.
  Check for Active Versions: Sometimes, an active version of the report may be causing the conflict. Ensure that there are no active versions of the report that could be causing the issue.
