This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a mapping between a recipe version and a change number that already exists in the system. 
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Mapping: The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to create a mapping for a recipe version to a change number that has already been established. This can happen if:
  
  The same recipe version is being linked to the same change number multiple times.
  There is an attempt to create a new mapping without first checking if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with data integrity or inconsistencies in the database that lead to duplicate entries.
  
  
  User Error: Users may inadvertently attempt to create a mapping that already exists due to a lack of awareness of the current mappings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Mappings: Before creating a new mapping, check the existing mappings for the recipe version and change number. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction or report in SAP that displays mappings.
  Using transaction codes like C223 (for change numbers) or C201 (for recipes) to view existing entries.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Mapping: If the mapping already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing mapping instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Entries: If you find that there are duplicate mappings that should not exist, you may need to delete the unnecessary entries. Ensure you have the appropriate authorizations and backup data before making deletions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to Recipe Management or PLM for specific guidance on managing mappings.
