• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QISR015 - Structure &1 already contains field &2 (field name &3) ?

  The SAP error message QISR015 indicates that there is an issue with the structure definition in the context of Quality Management (QM) or related modules. Specifically, it means that the structure you are trying to modify or create already contains a field with the same name as the one you are trying to add. 
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Field Definition: The field you are trying to add to the structure already exists in that structure.
  Incorrect Structure Modification: You may be attempting to modify a structure that is not intended to be changed or is already defined in a way that conflicts with your changes.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, there may be inconsistencies between the development and production systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Structure Definition: Review the structure definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to see if the field you are trying to add already exists. If it does, you may need to use that existing field instead of trying to add a new one.
  
  
  Modify Existing Field: If you need to change the properties of the existing field, consider modifying the existing field instead of adding a new one.
  
  
  Use Unique Field Names: If you are creating a new field, ensure that the name is unique within the structure.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: If you suspect that the issue is related to transport inconsistencies, check the transport logs and ensure that all changes have been properly transported to the target system.
