This typically occurs in the context of incentive and commission management, where remuneration types are defined for various contracts or agreements.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The primary cause of this error is that the same special remuneration type has been defined in more than one location for the same contract. This could happen due to manual entry errors or incorrect configuration settings.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the remuneration types in the system, leading to overlaps or conflicts.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been recent changes in the configuration, it may lead to duplicate entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant tables (e.g., CACSREMUN) for entries related to the special remuneration type and contract. Look for duplicates.
  Remove or Adjust Duplicates: Once identified, you can either remove the duplicate entries or adjust them to ensure that each remuneration type is only defined once for the contract.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the remuneration types are set up correctly and that there are no overlaps.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to incentive and commission management for best practices on maintaining remuneration types.
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the error does not recur and that the remuneration calculations are functioning as expected.
