  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create a delivery for a component (like a transport request) that already has a delivery of the same type and version.
  There may be a duplicate entry in the transport directory or a conflict with existing transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Deliveries:
