  Cause:
  
  Duplicate FSD Type: The error indicates that there is already an FSD of the same type in the system, but it has different attributes (e.g., different conditions, amounts, or other relevant data).

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on FSD creation and management to ensure compliance with system requirements.
