This error indicates that the system has detected a duplicate relationship entry for the specified relationship type.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Relationship: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an existing relationship of the specified type between the two entities (e.g., business partners, products, etc.) in the CRM system.
  Data Entry Error: It may also occur due to incorrect data entry or an attempt to create a relationship that is not intended to be duplicated.

  Check Existing Relationships:

  Modify or Delete Existing Relationship:

  Review Relationship Type Configuration:
  
  If you believe that the relationship should allow duplicates, review the configuration settings for the relationship type in the CRM customizing settings.
  You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to adjust the settings if necessary.
