This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to create a new employee or when updating existing employee data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the employee record you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system. This could be due to:
  
  An attempt to create a new employee with an ID that is already assigned to another employee.

  Modify Existing Record: If the record already exists and you intended to update it, use the appropriate transaction to modify the existing employee record instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being entered or imported is validated to prevent duplicates. This may involve implementing checks in your data import processes or user interfaces.
