  The SAP error message HRASR00_DT_FSCN_DATA108 with the description "Additional information &1 already defined" typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) and specifically when dealing with infotypes or data records that are being processed in the system.
  Cause:
  This error usually indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an entry in the system that already exists. The "&1" in the message will be replaced with the specific identifier (like a key or code) that is causing the conflict. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check if the record already exists for the employee or infotype in question.
  Look for the specific identifier mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Records:
  
  If a duplicate record is found, you may need to modify the existing record instead of creating a new one.
  If the existing record is incorrect or no longer needed, consider deleting it if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify any data inconsistencies that may be causing the issue.
  Use transaction codes like PU03 (Delete HR Master Data) or other relevant reports to clean up any duplicates.

  If this error occurred during a data upload or migration, review the data file to ensure that there are no duplicates being uploaded.

  Data Migration Tools: If you are using tools like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) or BAPIs for data uploads, ensure that your mapping and data handling logic are correctly set up to avoid duplicates.
