  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Applications:
  
  Go to the BRFplus workbench (transaction code: BRF+ or BRFPLUS).
  Search for the existing applications to see if the name you are trying to use is already taken.
  
  
  
  Rename Your Application:
  
  If you find that the application name is already in use, consider using a different, unique name for your new application.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Application:
  
  If the existing application is no longer needed, you can delete it or modify it to free up the name. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other processes that rely on the existing application.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for BRFplus to understand naming conventions and best practices.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
