  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF343 - GenIL &1 name &2 already exists ?

    The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF343 GenIL &1 name &2 already exists typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when there is an attempt to create or register a new Business Object (BO) or a node that has the same name as an existing one. This can happen during the configuration of a BOPF object or when trying to activate a new version of a business object.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate Names: The most common cause of this error is that you are trying to create a new business object or node with a name that already exists in the system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the business object or its nodes, leading to conflicts.
    3. Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, there may be a conflict with existing objects in the target system.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Objects: Verify if the business object or node name you are trying to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant BOPF configuration area in the SAP system.
    2. Rename the Object: If you find that the name is already in use, consider renaming your new business object or node to avoid the conflict.
    3. Review Configuration: Ensure that your configuration settings are correct and that there are no unintended duplicates in your definitions.
    4. Transport Management: If this issue arises during a transport, check the target system for existing objects and resolve any conflicts before transporting.
    5. Delete or Modify Existing Object: If the existing object is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it or modifying it to resolve the conflict.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like BOPF or SE80 to navigate to the Business Object Framework and check the existing configurations.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for BOPF to understand the structure and naming conventions for business objects.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
