  Review Data Migration Processes: If the duplicates were created during a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that it includes checks for existing classifications before creating new ones.
  
  
  Adjust Integration Logic: If the issue arises from integrated systems, review the logic that handles classification data to prevent duplicates from being sent to SAP.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to product classification to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance.
