  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Reporting: The error is triggered when an attempt is made to create a report (such as a payroll report) for a period where a report has already been submitted or generated. This can happen if:
  
  The report was already processed and submitted.
  There was an attempt to amend a report that has already been finalized.

  Incorrect Period Selection: The user may have selected the wrong reporting period, leading to an attempt to create a report that already exists.
