  The SAP error message 3B414 typically indicates that there is an issue with existing records in the system that are conflicting with the data you are trying to process. The message usually appears in the context of data uploads or data processing where the system finds that a record already exists in the database that matches the criteria of the new record being processed.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
