What causes this issue?

During the master data update the master data tables are read to
determine which records of the passed data package have to be inserted,
updated, or modified. Between reading the tables at the start of package
processing and the actual insertion of records at the end of package
processing, some records are inserted into the master data table by a
simultaneously running request.
The records inserted by the simultaneously running process are
overwritten by the master data update.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check if the values of the master data record with the key mentioned in
this message are updated correctly.
Run master data RSRV test "Time Overlaps of Load Requests" and specify
the request that is currently running to analyze what requests are
running simultaneously and may have affected the master data update
process.
Re-schedule your master data load process to avoid such situations in
future.
Read SAP note 668466 for more information about master data update
scheduling.
