  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, it’s possible that duplicates were created during the migration process.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that do not allow multiple entries for the same business partner in the context of premium payments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction or table where premium payers are maintained and check for duplicate entries of the business partner in question.
  Use transaction codes like SE16N to view the relevant tables (e.g., /PM0/ABP_PRMPAYR).
  
  
  
  Remove or Correct Duplicates:
  
  If duplicates are found, you will need to either remove the duplicate entries or correct them to ensure that each business partner is only listed once as a premium payer.
  Ensure that the correct business partner is assigned to the relevant policies or contracts.
  
  
  
  Review Data Migration:
  
  If the issue arose after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that it correctly handled unique constraints and did not create duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to premium payers. Ensure that the settings align with business requirements and do not inadvertently allow duplicates.
  
  
  
  Testing:
