SV009 - Details

• The SAP error message SV009, which states "An entry already exists with the same key," typically occurs when you are trying to create or update a record in the SAP system, and the key (or unique identifier) you are using already exists in the database. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating a new customer, vendor, material, or any other master data.

  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from another system, there may be conflicts with existing keys in the SAP system.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users are trying to create the same entry simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
