  Solution:
  
  Check Group Membership: Before attempting to add the item to the group, check if it is already a member. You can do this by querying the group to see its current members.
  Modify Logic: If you are using custom code, ensure that there is a check in place to prevent adding an item that is already part of the group.
  Remove from Group: If you need to add the item to a different group, you may first need to remove it from the current group before adding it to the new one.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module you are working with to understand the expected behavior and constraints regarding group memberships.
