• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/MIGRATION118 - Catalog &1 also exists in customizing scope. ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/MIGRATION118 Catalog &1 also exists in customizing scope typically occurs during the migration or activation of Fiori catalogs in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is a conflict because the catalog you are trying to create or modify already exists in the customizing scope.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Catalogs: The catalog you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system, either in the same or a different customizing scope.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a system that has multiple clients or environments, there may be a transport issue where the catalog was already transported to the system.
  Customizing Scope: The error may arise due to the way customizing scopes are defined in your system. If the catalog is defined in a different customizing scope, it can lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Catalogs: 
  
  Use transaction code Fiori Launchpad Designer or SAP GUI to check if the catalog already exists. You can search for the catalog using its ID.
  If it exists, you may need to modify the existing catalog instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete or Rename: 
  
  If the existing catalog is not needed, consider deleting it or renaming it to avoid the conflict.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Customizing Scope: 
  
  Review the customizing scope settings in your system. If the catalog is defined in a different scope, you may need to adjust your migration or activation process to accommodate this.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If you suspect a transport issue, check the transport logs to see if the catalog was transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust the transport requests.
