  Delete or Archive Existing Models: If the existing model is no longer needed, you may consider deleting or archiving it, but ensure that this does not affect any dependent objects or reports.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If you suspect that the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that all relevant objects are properly transported and that there are no inconsistencies between your development and production environments.
