This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a ticket for a nomination that already has an existing ticket associated with it.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Ticket Creation: The most common cause of this error is that a ticket with the same name (or identifier) already exists for the specified nomination. This can happen if:
  
  The user is trying to create a new ticket without checking for existing ones.
  There was a previous error or interruption during the ticket creation process, leading to an incomplete or orphaned ticket.
  The system is set up to prevent duplicate entries for tickets associated with nominations.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect data entry or misconfiguration in the system that leads to the same ticket name being generated.

  Navigating to the relevant transaction or report in SAP that lists tickets for nominations.
  Searching for the ticket name or the nomination ID to see if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Ticket: If you find that a ticket with the same name already exists:
  
  If the existing ticket is valid and should remain, you may need to modify it instead of creating a new one.
  If the existing ticket is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it (if your user permissions allow) before creating a new ticket.
  
  
  
  Use Unique Ticket Names: Ensure that the naming convention for tickets is unique to avoid conflicts. This may involve implementing a systematic approach to ticket naming.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about how to proceed, consult the SAP documentation related to ticketing and nominations or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
