  The SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_SEASONS221 indicates that there is an attempt to enter multiple entries with the same key values in a context where unique key values are required. This typically occurs in the context of managing seasons, collections, or similar entities in SAP Fashion Management (SAP FMS) or SAP S/4HANA Fashion and Vertical Business.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create or update records (like seasons, collections, or articles) that require unique identifiers (keys), and the system detects that the key values you are trying to enter already exist in the database.
  This can happen if you are importing data, manually entering records, or during batch processing where duplicate entries are being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries:

  Modify Key Values:
  
  If you find that the key values are indeed duplicates, modify the new entries to ensure that they have unique key values. This may involve changing the season name, collection ID, or other relevant identifiers.
  
  
  
  Data Import Validation:
  
  If you are importing data (e.g., via a data upload or interface), ensure that your source data does not contain duplicates. You may need to clean or preprocess the data before importing it into SAP.
