This typically occurs in scenarios where you are working with data import tools or transaction codes that allow for file uploads, such as the Data Transfer Workbench or similar functionalities in SAP CRM.
  Cause:
  
  File Already Selected: The most common cause of this error is that the file you are attempting to upload has already been selected in the current session. SAP does not allow the same file to be uploaded multiple times in a single session to prevent data duplication or conflicts.

  Solution:
  
  Select a New File: The simplest solution is to select a different file for upload. If you need to upload the same file again, you can do so by first clearing the previous selection.
  Clear Previous Selection: If you want to upload the same file, you can:
  
  Navigate to the file selection area and clear the current selection.
  Re-select the file you wish to upload.
  
  
  Restart the Session: If the issue persists, consider logging out of the session and logging back in. This can help reset any session-related issues.
  Check for Background Jobs: If the file upload is part of a background job, ensure that the job has completed before attempting to upload the file again.
