This means that the system has detected a duplicate entry for a specific key (represented by &1 in the error message). The system is warning that the existing entry will be overwritten if the operation proceeds.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Data Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the data being processed (e.g., payroll data, employee records) already exists in the P05T_A_EXT table.
  Incorrect Data Processing Logic: If there is a custom program or enhancement that processes payroll data, it may not be handling existing records correctly.

  Check Existing Records: Before attempting to insert a new record, check the P05T_A_EXT table to see if the record already exists. You can do this using a simple SQL query or through transaction codes like SE16 or SE11.
  SELECT * FROM P05T_A_EXT WHERE <key_field> = <value>;
  
  
  Modify the Logic: If you are using a custom program, modify the logic to handle existing records appropriately. You may want to update the existing record instead of trying to insert a new one.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If there are unintended duplicates in the table, you may need to clean up the data. This could involve deleting or archiving old records that are no longer needed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the P05T_A_EXT table to understand its structure and the implications of overwriting records.
