  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B030 with the description "You cannot enter the same specification twice" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or similar modules where specifications or attributes are being defined for a product or material.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to enter the same specification or attribute more than once in a single context. For example, if you are trying to assign multiple specifications to a product and you inadvertently try to add the same specification twice, SAP will trigger this error to prevent duplication.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Specifications: Review the list of specifications that have already been entered for the product or material. Ensure that you are not trying to add a specification that is already present.
  
  
  Remove Duplicates: If you find that the specification is already listed, you can either remove the duplicate entry or modify your input to include only unique specifications.
  
  
  Data Entry Review: Double-check your data entry process to ensure that you are not inadvertently duplicating entries. This may involve reviewing the user interface or the data import process if you are using batch uploads.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to the module you are working with for additional guidance on managing specifications.
  
  
  User Training: If this error is common among multiple users, consider providing training or guidelines on how to properly enter specifications to avoid duplication.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be specific fixes or updates that address similar issues.
