  The SAP error message P0068 "No field was deleted because of uniqueness: overwrite" typically occurs in the context of data management, particularly when dealing with infotypes in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This error indicates that an attempt was made to delete or overwrite a field in an infotype, but the operation could not be completed due to uniqueness constraints.
  
  Cause:
