• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR604 - Totals variant & already exists ?

  SAP Error Message:
  VR604 - Totals variant & already exists
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or save a totals variant in SAP that has the same name as an existing totals variant. Totals variants are used in SAP to define how totals are calculated and displayed in reports or transactions. Since the variant name must be unique, attempting to create a duplicate variant name triggers this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Totals Variant: A configuration object that controls the summation and display of totals in reports or data entry screens.
  Uniqueness: Each totals variant must have a unique identifier (name).
  When you try to create a totals variant with a name that already exists in the system, SAP prevents this to avoid confusion and data inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Variants:
  
  Before creating a new totals variant, check if the variant name you want to use already exists.
  You can do this by searching in the relevant transaction or customizing area
