  The SAP error message RMPS_TRF201, which states "Import run already exists," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) modules when you are trying to import data or perform a data transfer operation that has already been executed for the same import run.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  An import run with the same identifier or parameters has already been executed.
  The system is designed to prevent duplicate import runs to maintain data integrity and avoid conflicts.
  There may be a failure in the previous import run that has not been resolved, leading to the system blocking further attempts.
  
  Solution:

  Delete or Reset the Import Run:

  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  
  Use a Unique Identifier:
  
  If you are trying to run a new import, ensure that you are using a unique identifier for the new import run to avoid conflicts with existing runs.
