GB112 - Details

• The SAP error message GB112, which states "Validation & already exists," typically occurs during data entry or processing when the system detects that a validation rule or entry already exists in the database. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating or modifying master data, transactional data, or configuration settings.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause is that the system is trying to create or modify an entry that already exists in the database. This could be a duplicate key, validation rule, or configuration setting.
  Validation Rules: The error may arise from specific validation rules set up in the system that prevent duplicate entries or require unique values.
  Data Consistency: The system enforces data consistency, and if an entry violates this consistency (e.g., by being a duplicate), it will trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the data you are trying to enter or modify. Ensure that it does not already exist
