  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Values: Before creating a new fixed value, check the existing entries in the relevant table or configuration area to see if the value you want to use is already present.
  Modify or Delete Existing Entry: If the fixed value already exists and you need to use it, consider modifying the existing entry or deleting it if it is no longer needed.
  Use a Different Value: If the existing fixed value is required and cannot be changed, you may need to choose a different value that does not conflict with existing entries.
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or configuration guides to understand the rules regarding fixed values in the specific context you are working in.
