  Error Message
  WZ606 - Standard text & exists already
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or save a standard text with a text ID and name that already exists in the SAP system. Standard texts are stored uniquely by their text ID and text name, so duplication is not allowed.
  
  Explanation
  
  Standard texts in SAP are reusable text blocks used in various documents (e.g., purchase orders, invoices, etc.).
  Each standard text is identified by a Text ID and a Text Name.
  When you attempt to create a new standard text with a combination of Text ID and Text Name that already exists, SAP prevents this to avoid overwriting or duplication.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Check if the standard text already exists:
  
  Use transaction SO10 (Standard Text Maintenance).
  Enter the Text ID and Text Name you want to create.
  If it exists, you can either:
  
  Use the existing standard text.
  Modify the existing text if you have authorization.
  
  
  
  
  Create a new standard text with a different Text Name or Text ID:
  
  Choose a unique Text Name or Text ID that does not exist.
  
  
  If you intended to update the existing text:
  
  Use the change option instead of create.
  
  
  Check for authorization:
  
  Sometimes, the error might appear if you do not have the authorization to overwrite or create texts.
