This typically occurs in the context of transaction management or configuration settings within the SAP system, particularly in the area of Treasury and Risk Management (TRM).
  Cause:

  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries in the relevant table or transaction to confirm if the entry you are trying to create already exists. You can use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the relevant database tables.
  Modify the Key or Values: If you need to create a new entry, ensure that the key is unique and that the values differ from the existing entry. Adjust the data accordingly.
  Data Cleanup: If duplicates are found, consider cleaning up the data by removing or consolidating duplicate entries, if appropriate.
