  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Object Creation: The object (structure or function group) you are trying to create already exists in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Naming: There might be a naming conflict where the name you are trying to use is already taken by another object.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, the object might have been created in another system and transported to the current system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PFO1152 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Objects:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) for structures or SE80 (Object Navigator) for function groups to check if the object already exists.

  Use a Different Name:
  
  If the object already exists and you need to create a new one, consider using a different name that does not conflict with existing objects.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If you suspect that the object was created in another system, check the transport requests to see if it has been transported to your current environment.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Object:
  
  If the object already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing object instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or naming conventions in your organization to ensure compliance with standards.
