  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Measurement Point: The most common cause is that the measurement point you are trying to create or update already exists in the system.

  Check Existing Measurement Points: 
  
  Use transaction codes like IK01 (Create Measurement Point) or IK02 (Change Measurement Point) to check if the measurement point already exists.

  Data Validation: 
  
  Implement data validation checks in your data entry processes to prevent duplicates from being created in the first place.
  
  
  
  Review Integration Processes: 
  
  If the duplicates are coming from an integration process, review the data being sent from the external system to ensure it is not sending duplicate entries.
