  The SAP error message HRBAS00DLG111, which states "Object &1 &2 already exists," typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) data management. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an object (such as a personnel number, infotype, or other HR-related entity) that already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the system is trying to create a new entry for an object that already exists in the database. This could happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a new employee record with a personnel number that is already assigned to another employee.
  You are attempting to add an infotype record that already exists for a specific employee.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from another system or performing bulk uploads, there may be duplicate records in the data being imported.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, configuration settings in the system may lead to attempts to create duplicate entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Before creating a new object, check the existing records in the system to ensure that the object you are trying to create does not already exist. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to search for existing personnel numbers or infotype records.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Records: If the object already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing record instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If you are migrating data, ensure that your data is clean and does not contain duplicates. You may need to perform data validation and deduplication before importing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific infotype or object you are working with to understand any constraints or requirements.
  
  
  Error Handling in Programs: If this error occurs in a custom program or report, ensure that the logic checks for existing records before attempting to create new ones.
