This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a relationship (such as a lease or financing relationship) for a financed unit that already has an existing relationship.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Relationship: The primary cause of this error is that the financed unit (asset or lease) already has an established relationship in the system. This could happen if:
