  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are duplicate entries in the data being migrated. The system is trying to create a new POB entry that already exists in the target system.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the integrity of the data being migrated, such as incorrect mappings or missing information.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts during the migration process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the data being migrated to identify any duplicate entries for the POB. Ensure that each POB is unique and does not already exist in the target system.
  Data Cleanup: If duplicates are found, clean up the data by removing or consolidating duplicate entries before attempting the migration again.
  Review Migration Settings: Check the migration settings and mappings to ensure that they are correctly configured. Make sure that the source and target systems are aligned in terms of data structure.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like FARR for Asset Accounting) to check the existing POBs in the system and verify their details.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the migration process for any specific guidelines or known issues that may pertain to your situation.
  Testing: Before performing the migration in the production environment, conduct tests in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the migration process works without errors.
