  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MAT059 indicates that there is an issue with the creation of a mapping for a product in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. The message states that a mapping for the specified product already exists, which prevents the creation of a new one.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Existing Mapping: There is already a mapping entry for the specified product in the system. This could be due to previous configurations or data imports.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that lead to the system believing that a mapping already exists.
  Incorrect Input: The parameters provided during the mapping creation process may not be correct, leading the system to identify an existing mapping erroneously.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Mappings:

  Delete or Modify Existing Mapping:
  
  If the existing mapping is no longer needed, you can delete it.
  If it needs to be updated, make the necessary changes to the existing mapping instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Review Input Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the parameters you are using to create the mapping are correct and do not conflict with existing entries.
  Double-check the product ID and any other relevant details.
