  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is the presence of duplicate entries in the planning book or data view. This can happen if the same key figures or characteristics are defined multiple times.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the planning book or data view can lead to duplicates being created unintentionally.
