  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to access the relevant table and identify the duplicate entries. You can run a query to find all records associated with the person in question.
  Data Cleanup: Once duplicates are identified, you will need to determine which records are valid and which should be deleted or merged. This may involve consulting with business users or data owners.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is related to configuration, review the settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure they align with business requirements.
