  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the system that prevent multiple templates from being active at the same time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Close the Open Template: If you have an open template for the product, save and close it before attempting to create a new one. This will allow the system to proceed with the creation of the new template.
  Check for Other Users: Ensure that no other users are currently working on the same template. If they are, coordinate with them to avoid conflicts.
  Review System Settings: Check the configuration settings in your SAP system to see if there are any restrictions on template creation. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or support team.
  Error Handling: If the error persists, consider logging the issue with SAP support for further investigation, especially if it seems to be a system bug or configuration issue.
