  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR613: Time stream already exists typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an attempt to create a time stream that already exists in the system. This can happen during planning or data maintenance activities where the system checks for the uniqueness of time streams.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Time Stream Creation: The most common cause is that a time stream with the same identifier (name) already exists in the system.
