  Validate Source Data:
  
  Check the source data structure to ensure that it aligns with the target structure.
  Make sure that there are no unintended duplicates in the source data that could lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data transfer process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
