• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLB2_CUST062 - An identical entry with key &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message CLB2_CUST062 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an entry in the system that already exists with the same key. This typically occurs in the context of customizing or configuring certain settings in SAP, particularly in the area of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or other modules where unique keys are enforced.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create a new entry (like a business partner, customer, or configuration setting) that has a key (like an ID or name) that already exists in the database.
  The system enforces uniqueness for that particular key, and thus it prevents the creation of duplicate entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries:
  
  Use the relevant transaction code (like BP for Business Partner, or the specific transaction for the object you are working with) to search for existing entries that might have the same key.
  Look for entries that match the key you are trying to create or modify.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Entry:
  
  If you find an existing entry that is not needed, you can delete it if appropriate.
  If the entry is needed, consider modifying it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Key:
  
  If you need to create a new entry, consider using a different key that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the relevant SAP documentation or configuration guides to understand the uniqueness constraints for the specific object you are working with.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If your organization has custom developments or enhancements, check if there are any custom validations or logic that might be causing this error.
