  The SAP error message 59026, specifically related to the program RPUDECU2, indicates that there is an issue with the processing of infotype records in the SAP system. The message "PUT_T5UIA: NEWREC flag set: Record exists" suggests that the system is trying to insert a new record into the database, but a record with the same key already exists.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Record: The most common cause of this error is that the system is attempting to create a new record for an infotype (in this case, T5UIA) that already has an existing record for the same employee and validity period.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error during data entry, leading to an attempt to create a record that should not be created.

  Check Existing Records: Verify if a record already exists for the employee in the specified infotype (T5UIA). You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Adjust Validity Period: If you need to create a new record, ensure that the validity period does not overlap with an existing record. Adjust the dates accordingly.
  Delete or Modify Existing Record: If the existing record is no longer needed, consider deleting it or modifying it to fit the new requirements.
  Review Custom Code: If there are custom programs or enhancements that interact with infotype T5UIA, review the code to ensure it handles record creation correctly and does not attempt to create duplicates.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific infotype and the RPUDECU2 program for any known issues or additional guidance.
