  Check Existing Orders: Before creating a new order, check if there is already an existing order for the specified design. You can do this by querying the relevant tables or using transaction codes that display order information.
  Use Existing Order: If an order already exists, consider using that order instead of creating a new one. You may need to modify or update the existing order if changes are required.
