The error is reported during SAP® synchronization. A conflict occurred while checking consistency rules.
Error message
Element <name of element> was skipped because an object definition with SAP ID <SAP ID value> already exists. The corresponding ARIS GUIDs are: <GUIDs>.
Cause
The SAP ID is unique in SAP® Solution Manager. It is automatically specified during data transfer to ARIS. Because you can manage different branches and scopes in an ARIS database, a database can contain more than one object definition with the same SAP ID. Synchronization-relevant SAP® items related to a branch and scope are therefore identified by the SAP ID attribute in combination with the value of the Synchronization project attribute. This value contains the IDs of the related branch and scope. If you create a definition copy of a synchronized object, this new ARIS object definition will have the same SAP ID as the source object. Synchronization will fail because the SAP ID is not unique anymore and the object to be synchronized cannot be determined. This is why definition copies of SAP items previously transferred to ARIS must not be used.
Therefore, in SAP® process models with a specified SAP ID, SAP functions with an identical SAP ID must occur only once. You can recognize these SAP functions by this symbol if you have not changed the method configuration:
This error occurred because the function with the specified SAP ID that already exists in the ARIS database. ARIS cannot solve this conflict
Solution
Delete all definition copies matching the SAP ID from the related branch and scope in ARIS. Use the displayed SAP ID and the ARIS GUIDs to identify the related object definitions. Alternatively, create an occurrence of the existing object definition in the related parent model.
