  The SAP error message S_BFA_TEST010 with the description "SBFADXT item &1 is not unique" typically occurs in the context of Business Function Activation or when dealing with Business Function Sets in SAP. This error indicates that there is a conflict or ambiguity regarding the item specified (denoted by &1) because it is not unique within the context it is being referenced.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple entries for the same item in the relevant configuration or data tables. This could happen if the same business function or item has been defined more than once.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with how the business functions or items are configured, leading to ambiguity in the system.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it might have led to inconsistencies or duplicates.

  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the business functions or items in question. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting entries.

  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that the transport did not introduce duplicates. You may need to revert or adjust the transport if necessary.
