This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the configuration of certain applications or when trying to implement enhancements.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Registration: The function module you are trying to register is already present in the system's registry.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings that lead to the same function module being registered multiple times.
