  The SAP error message BP023 ("Data already saved") typically occurs in the context of Business Partner (BP) management when you attempt to save data that has already been saved in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to create or update a Business Partner record, and the system detects that the data you are trying to save is identical to what is already stored.
  Causes:
  
  Duplicate Save Attempt: You may be trying to save a Business Partner record that has not changed since the last save.
  Session Issues: If multiple sessions are open, one session may have already saved the data, leading to this error in another session.
