This typically occurs in the context of supplier master data management within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the supplier (vendor) you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system for the specified company code.

  Data Validation: 
  
  Ensure that the data being entered is correct and does not duplicate existing entries. Implement validation checks in the data entry process to prevent duplicates.
