This can happen during configuration or data entry processes.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The organization you are trying to create has already been defined in the system. This could be due to a previous configuration or an import of data that included this organization.

  Use a Different Identifier: 
  
  If you need to create a new organization, consider using a different identifier or name that does not conflict with existing entries.
