This error indicates that there is a conflict or ambiguity in the keys used for scoping or configuration, which prevents the system from determining the correct configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Key Clashes: The error is often caused by multiple entries or configurations that share the same key or identifier. This can happen if:
  
  There are duplicate entries in the configuration settings.
  Different configurations are trying to use the same key for different purposes.

  Inconsistent Data: The underlying data or configuration might be inconsistent, leading to the system being unable to resolve which configuration to apply.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If configurations were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there might be conflicts due to existing configurations in the target system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration Entries: Review the configuration settings in the relevant application area. Look for duplicate entries or conflicting keys. Ensure that each key is unique and correctly defined.

  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the configuration data to identify any discrepancies. This may involve checking for orphaned entries or misconfigured settings.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that the transported objects do not conflict with existing configurations. You may need to manually adjust the configurations in the target system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation or notes related to the specific application or module you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or known issues related to the error.
