This typically occurs in the context of the SAP HR (Human Resources) module, particularly when dealing with authorization checks for personnel administration or related functions.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Instance Creation: The error is primarily caused by an attempt to create a new authorization instance when one already exists for the same user or context.

  System Bugs: Occasionally, this could be due to bugs in the SAP system or specific patches that have not been applied.

  Check for Custom Code: If there are any custom developments or enhancements in the HR module, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
