This error indicates that the sequence number being entered is not unique within the context of the data being processed.

  Data Entry Errors: It may also occur due to manual data entry errors where the same sequence number is inadvertently entered multiple times.

  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries in the relevant table or transaction to identify if the sequence number already exists. You can do this by querying the database or using transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the relevant tables.
  Use a Unique Sequence Number: If you find that the sequence number is indeed duplicated, you will need to use a different, unique sequence number for your entry.
  Data Cleanup: If duplicates are found due to data migration or bulk uploads, you may need to clean up the data to ensure that all sequence numbers are unique.
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files for the specific module you are working with to understand the requirements for sequence numbers.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
