• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC990 - Info objects already exist ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC990 Info objects already exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to create or activate InfoObjects that already exist in the system. This can happen during various processes, such as data modeling, planning area configuration, or when importing data.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate InfoObjects: The error indicates that the InfoObjects you are trying to create or activate already exist in the system. This can happen if there was a previous attempt to create the same InfoObject, or if the InfoObject was imported from another system.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects from one system to another, there may be conflicts if the InfoObjects already exist in the target system.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration or settings in the planning area or data model can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing InfoObjects: 
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance) to check if the InfoObjects already exist. If they do, you may need to modify or delete them before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Delete or Rename: 
  
  If the existing InfoObjects are not needed, you can delete them. If they are needed, consider renaming the new InfoObjects you are trying to create to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If this error occurs during a transport, ensure that the transport request does not contain objects that already exist in the target system. You may need to adjust the transport request or manually resolve conflicts.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: 
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the InfoObjects you are trying to create. If other objects depend on them, you may need to resolve those dependencies first.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to InfoObject management and APO configuration for any specific guidelines or best practices.
