  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Record: The most common cause of this error is that the system is trying to create a record that already exists in the database. This could be due to:
  
  An attempt to create a new entry with a key (like a unique identifier) that is already in use.
  A previous transaction that was not completed properly, leaving a record in a state that prevents new entries.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Error: There may be an issue with the data being entered, such as incorrect or incomplete information that leads the system to believe a record already exists.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existing Records:
