  The SAP error message OIUCA012, which states "Record already exists for this Major Product Code/Contract Number," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Oil and Gas (O&G) module, particularly when dealing with contracts and product codes. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or update a record in the system that already exists for the specified Major Product Code and Contract Number combination.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an existing record in the database for the same Major Product Code and Contract Number. This could happen if:
  
  A user is trying to create a new contract or product entry that has already been created.
  There was a previous transaction that was not properly completed, leaving a record in the system.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not properly handled during the migration process.
  
  
  Incorrect Input: The user may have mistakenly entered the same Major Product Code and Contract Number that already exists.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like OIUCA or relevant reports to check if a record with the same Major Product Code and Contract Number already exists.
  If it does exist, determine if the existing record is valid and if it can be used instead of creating a new one.
