  Rename the Object: If the name is already in use, consider using a different name that is unique.
  Use a Naming Convention: Implement a naming convention that reduces the likelihood of name collisions, especially in a shared development environment.
  Review Transport Requests: If you suspect that the object was transported, check the transport logs or the transport directory to see if the object exists in the target system.
