The message typically includes placeholders for the object type (&1) and the key (&2) that is causing the conflict.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:

  If you suspect that there are inconsistencies in the data, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to ensure that the database is in a good state.
