  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Object: The object you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system with the same identifier or key.
  Object Locking: The object might be locked by another user or process, preventing you from making changes.

  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to check if the object already exists in the database.
  Search for the object using its identifier to confirm its existence.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Object:

  Use a Different Identifier:
  
  If you need to create a new object, use a different identifier that does not conflict with existing objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  If the object is locked, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked the object to resolve the issue.
