This error typically arises in the context of personnel administration or payroll configuration when you are trying to define or change employee subgroup groupings in the system.

  Check Existing Groupings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP (usually under SPRO -> Personnel Management -> Employee Administration -> Define Employee Subgroup Groupings).

  Check for Duplicates:
  
  Ensure that there are no duplicate entries in the configuration. Sometimes, similar groupings may have been created unintentionally.
