  The SAP error message QISR559, which states "An activity with technical name & already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create a new activity in the SAP system, but an activity with the same technical name already exists in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with Quality Management (QM) or other modules where activities are defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Activity Name: The most common cause is that the technical name you are trying to use for the new activity is already in use by another activity.
