  Check Existing Constraint Nets:
  
  Go to the transaction code CU01 (or the relevant transaction for managing AVC constraint nets).

  Ensure that the new name adheres to any naming conventions used in your organization.
  
  
  
  Review the Copy Process:
  
  If you are copying an existing constraint net, ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to copy it to the same name.
