  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW887: Identical name for org. set &1 and &2 in database; save was cancelled
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to save an organizational set (org. set) in SAP, but the system detects that there is already another organizational set with the same name in the database. SAP requires that organizational sets have unique names to avoid confusion and maintain data integrity.
  
  Organizational sets are groups of organizational units used in various HR and organizational management processes.
  The system checks the name of the org. set you are trying to save against existing org. sets.
  If it finds an identical name already existing, it cancels the save operation and throws this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the name of the organizational set you are trying to save is unique.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check existing org. sets:
  
  Use transaction PPOME or PPOCE to display organizational sets.
  Alternatively, use table HRP1000 or related tables to check existing org. set names.
  
  
  
  Rename the org. set you want to save:
  
  Change the name of the new org. set to a unique name that does not exist in the system.
  You can add a suffix or prefix to differentiate it.
  
  
  
  Save again:
  
  After renaming, try saving the org. set again.
  The system should allow the save if the name is unique.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is related to organizational management (OM) in SAP HR.
  Organizational sets are used to group organizational units for reporting or processing.
  The uniqueness of the org. set name is enforced at the database level to prevent conflicts.
  If you are working with transport requests or client copies, ensure that org. set names do not conflict across clients or systems.
