This typically occurs when the system is trying to retrieve or manipulate data using a key that is expected to be unique, but multiple entries with the same key exist.

  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the BOL object or the FPM application may not be set up correctly, leading to ambiguity in key identification.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data due to previous operations, such as failed transactions or improper data imports.
  Custom Code Issues: If there is custom code involved in the BOL or FPM application, it may not be handling keys correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Investigate the underlying data source (e.g., database tables) to identify and resolve any duplicate entries for the specified key. You can use SQL queries to find duplicates.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the BOL object and FPM application configurations are set up correctly. Check the definitions of the keys and ensure they are meant to be unique.
  Data Cleanup: If duplicates are found, you may need to clean up the data by removing or merging duplicate entries, depending on the business logic.
  Debug Custom Code: If there is custom code involved, review it to ensure that it correctly handles key uniqueness and does not inadvertently create duplicates.
