This typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) or SAP Student Lifecycle Management (SLCM) when dealing with forms or requirements related to personnel or student data.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system attempts to create a new sub-requirement, but a sub-requirement with the same identifier already exists in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The system is trying to create a duplicate entry for a sub-requirement that has already been defined.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that lead the system to believe that a new entry is being created when it already exists.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  If it exists, determine if it is valid or if it can be deleted or modified.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Duplicate Entries:
  
  If you find that the sub-requirement is indeed a duplicate and not needed, you can delete it or modify it as necessary.
  Ensure that any changes made do not affect other processes or data integrity.
