The SAP error message
/CFG/BCLM380 Existing activity &1 found
typically indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an activity in the Business Configuration (BC) set that already exists. This error is often encountered in the context of configuration activities in SAP systems, particularly when working with Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets) or when managing configuration activities in the SAP Solution Manager.Cause:
- Duplicate Activity: The error occurs when you try to create a new activity that has the same identifier as an existing one.
- Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration or an attempt to overwrite an existing configuration without proper checks.
- Transport Issues: If you are working in a system landscape with transports, there may be inconsistencies between the systems.
Solution:
- Check Existing Activities: Review the existing activities in the Business Configuration Set to see if the activity you are trying to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP.
- Modify Instead of Create: If the activity already exists, consider modifying the existing activity instead of creating a new one.
- Use Unique Identifiers: Ensure that any new activities you create have unique identifiers to avoid conflicts with existing ones.
- Transport Management: If this issue arises due to transport inconsistencies, ensure that all relevant transports have been properly imported and that the systems are in sync.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to Business Configuration and the specific error message for additional guidance.

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.
