  The SAP error message GTR_MF035 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a version of a master data object (such as a material, document, or other entity) that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of managing versions of master data, where each version must be unique.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Version: The error is triggered when you try to create a new version of a master data object that has the same version number as an existing one.
  Incorrect Input: The version number you are trying to use may have been entered incorrectly or is being reused unintentionally.
  Data Migration or Upload Issues: If you are migrating data or uploading records in bulk, there may be duplicates in the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Versions: Before creating a new version, check the existing versions of the master data object to ensure that the version number you want to use is not already in use.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using reports that list existing versions.
  
  
  
  Use a Unique Version Number: If the version number is already in use, you will need to select a different, unique version number for your new entry.
  
  
  Data Validation: If you are uploading data, ensure that your data source does not contain duplicates. Clean up the data before attempting the upload again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific master data object you are working with to understand the versioning rules and constraints.
  
  
  Error Handling in Custom Programs: If this error arises from a custom program or report, ensure that the logic for handling versions is correctly implemented to avoid attempting to create duplicates.
