• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER_UI062 - New name should be different from original name. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WER_UI062 New name should be different from original name.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to rename an object (such as a workflow, task, or any other entity in SAP) but the new name you provide is exactly the same as the original name. SAP requires that the new name must be different to avoid redundant operations and potential confusion.
  
  Explanation:
  
  When renaming an object, SAP checks if the new name differs from the current name.
  If both names are identical, the system throws this error to prompt the user to enter a different name.
  This is a validation step to ensure meaningful changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter a new name that is different from the original name.
  Make sure there are no extra spaces or case sensitivity issues that might make the system think the names are identical.
  If you intended to keep the same name, then renaming is unnecessary and you can cancel the operation.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in SAP Workflow (WER) or UI-related renaming operations.
  Always check for trailing spaces or hidden characters when renaming.
  If you are scripting or automating renaming, add validation to ensure the new name differs from the old one before submitting the change.
  This validation helps maintain data integrity and avoids unnecessary updates.
