This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a price fixation rule (or condition record) that already exists in the system with the same key or identifier.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that a price fixation rule with the same identifier (denoted by &1 in the error message) already exists in the system.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in data entry, leading to an attempt to create a duplicate record.

  Use a Different Identifier:
  
  If you need to create a new price fixation rule, consider using a different identifier that does not conflict with existing records.
