If a dynamic action was already converted (that is, an entry exists in
the mapping view V_T77PAODYDAMAP), it is not possible to convert this
dynamic action again using the conversion launcher.

How to fix this error?

If you want to create two rules as successor for one dynamic action, you
have to create the second rule manually. Afterwards, you can create a
second mapping entry in the view V_T77PAODYDAMAP.
If you do not want to use the rule that was already converted, delete
the rule from the view cluster VC_T77PAODYRULE.

Specifically, it means that a converted rule for a dynamic action with the specified key already exists in the database. This typically occurs during the process of creating or modifying dynamic actions in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there is an attempt to create a dynamic action rule that already exists in the database. This can happen if the same rule is being defined multiple times or if there was an error during a previous configuration that left a duplicate entry.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been recent changes to the configuration, it may lead to conflicts with existing entries.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the way the dynamic action is being configured, leading to an attempt to create a rule that is not unique.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Rules: 
  
  Go to the transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or SPRO (Customizing) and navigate to the dynamic actions configuration.
  Look for the dynamic action with the key specified in the error message. Ensure that it does not already exist.
