This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's classification system, which is used to categorize and manage various objects within the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Use Unique Identifiers:
  
  When creating new classification objects, ensure that the identifiers (Key/Code/SubObject) are unique to avoid conflicts with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
