This typically occurs in the context of managing master data, such as when you are trying to create or modify a record that includes a term value that already exists.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that the term value you are trying to enter has already been used in the system. This could be due to:
  
  Manual entry of the same term value.
  Data import processes that inadvertently include duplicates.

  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the system may not allow for duplicate entries for specific fields or terms.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction or table where the term values are stored and check if the term value you are trying to enter already exists.

  Use a Unique Value: 
  
  If the term value is valid and should remain in the system, consider using a different, unique term value for your new entry.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
