  The SAP error message FSBP_FSCAA032 indicates that there is a conflict when trying to perform an external search and a duplicate check simultaneously in the Financial Services module, particularly in the context of customer or vendor master data management.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when the system is configured to perform both an external search (e.g., checking against an external database or service for existing records) and a duplicate check (e.g., checking against existing records in the SAP system) at the same time. The system does not allow these two processes to run concurrently due to potential conflicts in data retrieval and validation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Separate the Processes: Ensure that the external search and duplicate check are not triggered at the same time. You may need to adjust the configuration or the sequence of operations in your process to run them one after the other.
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to the external search and duplicate check. Make sure that they are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to configure external searches and duplicate checks in your version of SAP.
