  The SAP error message SOI213 indicates that there is an issue with a conversion request related to the table specified in the error message. Specifically, it states that the table already contains an entry in the TBATG (Table for Conversion Requests) for the specified request.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes when:
  
  A conversion request is being processed, but the system detects that an entry for that request already exists in the TBATG table.

  The system may have encountered an inconsistency in the data or the conversion request management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SOI213 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: 
  
  Use transaction SE11 or SE16 to view the contents of the TBATG table. Look for the entry corresponding to the request mentioned in the error message.

  Review Conversion Request:
  
  Ensure that the conversion request is correctly configured and that there are no issues with the data being processed.
  If the request is still valid, you may need to check the logs for any additional errors or warnings that could provide more context.

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific conversion process you are working on. There may be specific guidelines or known issues related to the error.
