  The personnel number or employee ID you are trying to create is already assigned to another employee.
  There is a data entry error where the same record is being submitted multiple times.

  Verify if the record already exists in the specified client.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: 
  
  If you find that the record already exists, ensure that you are not trying to create a duplicate. If you need to update the existing record, use the appropriate transaction to do so.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
