  The SAP error message 5E595 ("Key &1 has already been saved") typically occurs when you are trying to save a record in the system that has already been saved previously. This error is often encountered in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of data entry or configuration where unique keys or identifiers are required.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that you are attempting to create or save a record with a key (like a document number, customer ID, etc.) that already exists in the database.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, if multiple sessions are open, one session may have already saved the record, leading to this error in another session.
  Data Consistency: The system is designed to prevent duplicate entries to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Before saving, check if the record with the specified key already exists in the database. You can do this by searching for the key in the relevant transaction or table.
  Use a Different Key: If you need to create a new record, ensure that you are using a unique key that does not already exist in the system.
  Review Transaction Logic: If you are working with custom programs or transactions, review the logic to ensure that it correctly handles existing records and does not attempt to save duplicates.
  Session Management: If you suspect that multiple sessions are causing the issue, try closing other sessions or refreshing the current session.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the key requirements, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help files for guidance on the specific transaction or module you are working with.
