  Check Existing Key Figures: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/OM_KEYFIGURE) and check the list of existing key figures to see if the one you are trying to create already exists.

  If you need to create a new key figure, consider using a different name or identifier that does not conflict with existing key figures.
