• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING112 - Query &1 is already defined in extended report &2. Check query definition ?

  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING112 indicates that there is a conflict in the definition of a query within the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the query you are trying to create or modify is already defined in an extended report. This can happen when you attempt to create a new query that has the same name or identifier as an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Query Name: The most common cause is that the query you are trying to define has the same name as an existing query in the system.
  Extended Report Conflict: The query is part of an extended report, and the system does not allow multiple definitions of the same query within that context.
  Development Environment Issues: If you are working in a development environment, it is possible that the query was created by another developer or in a different transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Queries: 
  
  Go to the query definition area in SAP (transaction code SQ01 or SQ02).
  Search for the query name mentioned in the error message to see if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Rename the Query: 
  
  If you find that the query already exists, consider renaming your new query to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Query: 
  
  If the existing query is not being used or can be modified, you may choose to update it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Check Extended Reports: 
  
  If the query is part of an extended report, review the report's definition to understand how it is being used and whether you can adjust your new query accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on query definitions and extended reports.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests: 
  
  If you are in a development environment, check if the query is part of a transport request that has not yet been moved to the production environment.
