  Navigating to the relevant transaction or report where coverage bundles are listed.

  Use a Different Identifier: If you find that the coverage bundle already exists, consider using a different identifier or name for the new bundle you are trying to create.
  
  
  Modify Existing Bundle: If the existing coverage bundle is the one you intended to work with, you can modify it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to coverage bundles for specific guidelines on naming conventions and data entry.
