  Check the Object ID: Verify the current object ID and the new object ID you are trying to assign. Make sure they are indeed different.
  
  
  Modify the Update Logic: If you are using a custom program or a BAPI to update the object, ensure that the logic correctly generates or assigns a new, unique object ID.
  
  
  Review Data Input: If the object ID is being input by a user, ensure that the user is aware that they need to provide a different ID.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct object ID to use, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance on how to properly create or modify the object.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the process to see where the object ID is being set and why it is not being changed as expected.
