• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CUST_UI028 - Node of same name already exists ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CUST_UI028 Node of same name already exists typically occurs in the context of the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) when you are trying to create or modify a UI configuration for a business object, and there is a conflict with an existing node name.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Node Name: The error indicates that you are attempting to create a node in the UI configuration that already exists. This can happen if you are trying to add a new node with the same name as an existing one.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the same node is being referenced multiple times.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, there may be inconsistencies between the development and production systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Nodes: Review the existing nodes in your UI configuration. Ensure that the node name you are trying to create is unique. You can do this by navigating to the relevant BOPF configuration in the SAP GUI or using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., /BOBF/CONF).
  
  
  Rename the Node: If you find that the node name already exists, consider renaming the new node to something unique that does not conflict with existing names.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Node: If the existing node is not needed, you can delete it or modify it to avoid the conflict. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other configurations or functionalities.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If you are working in a transport environment, ensure that all transport requests are correctly imported and that there are no inconsistencies between systems.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for BOPF and UI configuration for additional guidance on managing nodes and configurations.
