  The SAP error message IB_CRM_UPLOAD_MSG026 indicates that there is an issue with the data being uploaded to the SAP system, specifically related to equipment entries that are associated with the same product ID. This error typically arises in scenarios where the same equipment is being uploaded multiple times with the same product ID, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the same equipment (identified by its unique equipment number) is being uploaded multiple times with the same product ID in the data file.
  Data Preparation Issues: There may be issues in the data preparation phase where the data source contains duplicates or the logic used to prepare the upload data does not filter out duplicates.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping of equipment to product IDs may not be correctly defined, leading to multiple associations being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the data being uploaded to ensure that there are no duplicate entries for the same equipment with the same product ID. Remove any duplicates before attempting the upload again.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in the data preparation process to catch duplicates before they reach the upload stage.
  Correct Mapping: Ensure that the mapping of equipment to product IDs is correct and that each piece of equipment is only associated with one product ID at a time.
  Use Unique Identifiers: If the business process allows, consider using unique identifiers for equipment that can differentiate them even if they are associated with the same product ID.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant SAP documentation for more details on equipment management and data upload processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IE01 (Create Equipment) and IE02 (Change Equipment) to understand how equipment is managed in SAP.
  Data Upload Tools: If you are using tools like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) or BAPIs for data uploads, ensure that the configuration is set up correctly to handle unique entries.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs or application logs in SAP to get more context on the error and identify the specific records causing the issue.
