  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The system is trying to create a record that already exists in the database. This could be due to a manual entry or an automated process that is attempting to insert the same data multiple times.
  Data Upload Issues: If you are uploading data (e.g., through LSMW, BAPIs, or other data migration tools), the source data may contain duplicates.

  Check for Duplicates:

  Modify Data:
  
  If duplicates are found, modify the data to ensure that it is unique before attempting to insert it again.
  If you are uploading data, consider using tools that can filter out duplicates before the upload process.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to the specific transaction or module you are working with. Ensure that the uniqueness constraints are correctly set up and that they align with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  Implement error handling in your data upload or processing logic to catch and manage duplicate entries gracefully.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
