  The SAP error message FCO_STAT_KEY_FIG_MSG014 indicates that you are trying to create a statistical key figure that already exists in the specified controlling area. This error typically occurs when you attempt to define a new statistical key figure with a name that is already in use within the same controlling area.
  Cause:
  
  The statistical key figure you are trying to create has the same name as an existing one in the specified controlling area.
  This can happen if you are trying to import or upload data that includes a statistical key figure that is already defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Statistical Key Figures:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP (usually transaction code OKKP or KSV1 for creating statistical key figures).
  Look for the existing statistical key figures in the specified controlling area to confirm that the key figure you are trying to create already exists.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Key Figure:
  
  If you need to create a new statistical key figure, choose a different name that does not conflict with existing key figures.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Key Figure:
  
  If the existing statistical key figure is not being used or can be modified, consider updating it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Key Figures:
  
  If there are statistical key figures that are no longer needed, you can delete them (if allowed) to free up the name for new entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing statistical key figures in your specific version of SAP.
