  The SAP error message 0T213 indicates that the target system you are trying to add to a target group already exists in that group. This error typically occurs during the configuration of transport routes or when managing transport requests in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the target system you are attempting to include in a target group is already listed in that group. This can happen if:

  There was a previous configuration that included the system, and you are unaware of it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Target Groups:
