This typically occurs in the context of SAP's reporting or document generation functionalities, where the system is trying to identify a specific template but finds more than one that matches the given name.

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings that lead to the system not being able to distinguish between the templates.
  Transport Issues: If templates were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it’s possible that duplicates were created during the transport process.

  Identify Duplicate Templates:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator or SE38 for ABAP programs) and search for the templates using the name provided in the error message.
  Check the list of templates and identify the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Rename or Delete Duplicates:
  
  If you find multiple templates with the same name, consider renaming them to ensure uniqueness.
  If some templates are no longer needed, you can delete them after ensuring they are not in use.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings related to the templates to ensure that they are set up correctly and that the system can differentiate between them.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to see if any templates were incorrectly transported or duplicated.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing templates in your version of SAP.
