This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a new bank receipt that has the same reference number as an existing one, which violates the uniqueness constraint for bank receipts in the SAP system.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Receipts: 
  
  Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to search for existing bank receipts with the same reference number.
  Verify if the receipt you are trying to create already exists.

  If you find that the reference number is indeed already in use, consider using a different, unique reference number for the new bank receipt.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: 
  
  Double-check the data you are entering to ensure there are no typographical errors in the reference number.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: 
  
  If you believe this error is occurring incorrectly (e.g., the reference number should not be unique), consult with your SAP administrator or support team to review the system configuration and determine if adjustments are needed.
  
  
  
  Review Customizations: 
  
  If your organization has custom developments or enhancements in the SAP system, check if any custom logic is enforcing this uniqueness constraint.
