SV862 - Details

• The SAP error message SV862 ("At least one of the entries is not unique") typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or modify a record in the SAP system that requires unique entries, but the system detects duplicate values in the fields that are supposed to be unique. This can happen in various contexts, such as when creating master data (like customers, vendors, or materials) or during data uploads.
  Causes:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause is that the data being entered or uploaded contains duplicate values in fields that must be unique (e.g., customer ID, vendor ID, material number).
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from another system, there may be duplicates in the source data that are not resolved before the upload.
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration of the system may enforce uniqueness on certain fields that are not intended to be unique.
  User Input Errors: Manual data entry
