  The SAP error message LTR2_UI_SELECTION005 indicates that there is an issue with a selection variant in the SAP system. Specifically, the error message states that the filter you are trying to add is already contained in the selection variant. This typically occurs when you are attempting to create or modify a selection variant and you try to include a filter that has already been defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Filter: The primary cause of this error is that the filter you are trying to add to the selection variant already exists in that variant.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the selection variant setup, leading to attempts to add duplicate filters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Modify the Selection Variant:
  
  If the filter is already present and you need to change its parameters, you can modify the existing filter instead of trying to add a new one.

  Create a New Selection Variant:
  
  If you need to keep both filters for different purposes, consider creating a new selection variant that includes the desired filters without duplicating existing ones.
