  The SAP error message UAS085 indicates that there is a conflict with the uniqueness of a type name in the specified data basis. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a type (such as a data type, structure, or table type) that has the same name as an existing type in the same data basis.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Type Names: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an existing type with the same name in the specified data basis. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a new type with a name that is already in use.
  There are multiple development objects (like transport requests) that have not been properly managed, leading to name conflicts.
  
  
  
  Namespace Issues: If you are working in a system with multiple namespaces, you might be trying to create a type in a namespace that conflicts with another type in a different namespace.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Types: 
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the type name in question. Check if the type already exists in the specified data basis.

  Rename the Type: If you are creating a new type and it conflicts with an existing one, choose a unique name that adheres to your naming conventions.
  
  
  Namespace Management: If you are working in a multi-namespace environment, ensure that you are using the correct namespace for your new type.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the issue arises during a transport, check if there are any pending transport requests that might be causing the conflict. Ensure that all changes are properly transported and that there are no duplicates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the existing types, consult your project documentation or speak with your team members.
