  The SAP error message EC322, which states "Function & has already been activated," typically occurs when you attempt to activate a function module, business function, or enhancement that has already been activated in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the activation of business functions in the SAP system or while working with enhancement packages.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Activation: The function or enhancement you are trying to activate is already active in the system.
