This can happen during the configuration of transportation rates, where the system checks for existing entries before allowing new ones to be created.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Rate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that a rate entry for the specified scale item key combination already exists in the system. This could be due to a previous entry that was not deleted or modified correctly.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the data being entered, such as incorrect scale item keys or values that lead to a conflict with existing entries.

  Review Data Entry:
  
  Ensure that the data you are entering is correct and does not conflict with existing entries. Double-check the scale item keys and other relevant fields.
