  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., OB08 for maintaining exchange rates).
  Check if the currency pair already exists in the system. If it does, you may need to update the existing entry instead of creating a new one.

  Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction code OB08 to view and maintain exchange rates.
  You can also use transaction code TCURR to view the currency conversion rates.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files for more information on managing currency pairs and exchange rates.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Migration Issues:
  
  If this error arises after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that duplicate entries were not introduced.
