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

  Modify the Data:
  
  If you need to insert a new record, ensure that the key values are unique. Modify the data you are trying to insert to avoid duplication.

  Review Business Logic:
  
  Check the business logic in the program or transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that it correctly handles cases where records already exist.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific table and its constraints to understand the unique keys and how they are defined.
