  The SAP error message SUSR_CERT144 indicates that there is an attempt to create a rule that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of user management or authorization management, particularly when dealing with roles, profiles, or rules related to user authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to create a new rule or authorization object that has the same name or identifier as an existing one.
  There may be a duplicate entry in the system, which can happen due to previous configurations or imports.
  The system is enforcing uniqueness for certain objects, and the rule you are trying to create conflicts with an existing one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SUSR_CERT144 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Rules:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., SU01 for user management, PFCG for role management) and check if the rule you are trying to create already exists.
  Use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to search for existing rules or authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Rule:
  
  If the rule already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing rule instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Rule:
  
  If you find that there are duplicate rules that are not needed, you can delete the unnecessary ones. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to user management and authorization to understand the specific requirements and constraints regarding rule creation.
