  Modify Logic: If this error arises from a custom program or enhancement, review the logic to ensure it checks for existing entries before attempting to add new ones.
  
  
  Data Import: If the error occurs during a data import process, ensure that your import logic includes checks for duplicates. You may need to preprocess your data to remove duplicates before importing.
