  Solution:
  
  Check the Import File: Open the import file and ensure that all field names are unique. Remove or rename any duplicate field names.
  Validate File Structure: Ensure that the file structure adheres to the expected format required by SAP CRM. This includes checking for correct headers and data types.
  Use a Template: If available, use a predefined template for the import file that specifies the required field names and structure. This can help avoid duplication and other formatting issues.
  Data Mapping Review: Review the data mapping configuration in SAP to ensure that it aligns with the fields in your import file. Make adjustments as necessary.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the import process with a small subset of data to ensure that the error does not occur again.

  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for guidelines on data import processes and the expected structure of import files.
