  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Libraries: 
  
  Navigate to the question library management area in your SAP SRM system.
  Look for the existing question libraries to confirm that the library name you are trying to create is indeed already in use.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Library:
  
  If you find that the library name is already taken, consider using a different name for the new question library that is unique.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Library:
  
  If the existing library is not being used or can be modified, you may choose to update or delete the existing library instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing question libraries and naming conventions.
  
  
  
  Check for System Issues:
