  The SAP error message CA_TTE107 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a partner in the system, but a partner with the same role already exists. This means that the system is trying to add a partner that has already been defined for that specific role, and as a result, it will overwrite the existing entry.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The primary cause of this error is that there is already a partner assigned to the same role in the system. This could happen if:
  
  The user is trying to add a partner that has already been defined.
  There was a previous entry that was not properly deleted or modified.
  The same partner is being added multiple times inadvertently.
  
  
  
  Solution:

  Check Existing Partners:

  Look for the partner in question and verify if it already exists with the same role.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Entry:
  
  If the partner already exists and you need to update it, consider modifying the existing entry instead of creating a new one.
  Make the necessary changes to the existing partner's details.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Entry:
  
  If the existing entry is no longer needed, you can delete it before adding the new partner.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletion.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the role assignment is correct and that you are not trying to assign the same partner to multiple roles that conflict with each other.
