  The SAP error message CRM_ACTIVITY_I102, which states "Item &1 is already copied in a sample order," typically occurs in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module when there is an attempt to copy an item that has already been included in a sample order. This can happen during the creation or modification of sales orders, quotations, or other related documents.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Item Entry: The item you are trying to add to the order has already been included in a sample order. SAP prevents the duplication of items to maintain data integrity and avoid confusion in order processing.

  Check Existing Sample Orders: Review the existing sample orders to see if the item in question is already included. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like VA03 for sales orders) and checking the details of the sample orders.
  Remove Duplicate Item: If the item is indeed already in a sample order and you need to add it to a new order, consider removing it from the sample order if it is no longer needed there.
  Use a Different Item: If the item must remain in the sample order, consider using a different item for the new order.
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to the system configuration, check the settings related to sample orders and item duplication. Adjustments may be needed if the current settings are too restrictive.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Help Portal for further assistance.
