  The SAP error message FKKVT104, which states "Product &1 already exists," typically occurs in the context of the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module. This error indicates that you are trying to create or register a product that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the product you are trying to create has already been defined in the system. This could happen if:
  
  You are attempting to create a product with the same identifier or code as an existing one.
  There was a previous attempt to create the product that was successful, but you are unaware of it.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were bulk uploads, duplicates may have been created inadvertently.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Products: 
  
  Use transaction codes like FKKPRC (Product Management) or FBL5N (Customer Line Item Display) to search for the product in question. Verify if the product already exists in the system.

  Modify or Delete Existing Product: 
  
  If the existing product is not needed, you can consider deleting it (if allowed) or modifying it to meet your requirements.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Identifier: 
  
  If you need to create a new product, ensure that you are using a unique identifier that does not conflict with existing products.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to product management in FI-CA for additional guidance on how to handle products.
