• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SU2X243 - Object &1 already exists in the default values for the application (&2) ?

  The SAP error message SU2X243 indicates that there is a conflict with default values for an application because an object (like a role, authorization, or profile) already exists in the system. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify default values for a specific application, but the object you are trying to add is already defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The object you are trying to create or modify already exists in the default values for the specified application.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the system where the same object is being referenced multiple times.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting roles or authorizations from one system to another, it may lead to conflicts if the object already exists in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (like SU01, PFCG, etc.) and check the existing default values for the application specified in the error message. Look for the object mentioned in the error.

  Use Unique Identifiers:
  
  Ensure that when creating new objects, you are using unique identifiers to avoid conflicts with existing entries.
