  The SAP error message SIC_DUPL_RULESET064 indicates that there is a metadata issue where a ruleset is not defined for a specific entity type. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) or similar applications where rulesets are used to validate or manage data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Ruleset Definition: The ruleset specified in the error message is not defined in the system for the entity type being processed.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the entity type may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not being able to find the associated ruleset.
  Transport Issues: If the ruleset was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated in the target system.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements, they may not have been properly implemented or may reference a non-existent ruleset.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Ruleset Definition:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the section where rulesets are defined.
  Verify that the ruleset mentioned in the error message is indeed defined for the specific entity type.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Ruleset:
  
  If the ruleset is missing, you may need to create it. Ensure that it is properly configured for the entity type in question.
  If the ruleset exists but is not correctly linked to the entity type, modify the configuration to associate the ruleset with the correct entity.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the ruleset was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully imported.
  If there are issues with the transport, you may need to re-transport the ruleset or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code:
