This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a new inspection result that conflicts with an existing record that has the same key.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Key: The most common cause of this error is that the system is trying to create an inspection result for a material or batch that already has an existing inspection result with the same key (e.g., inspection lot number, material number, etc.).
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with data integrity where the system believes that a record already exists due to inconsistencies in the database.

  Check Existing Records: Verify if an inspection result already exists for the same key. You can do this by checking the inspection lot in the QM module to see if there are existing results.
  Use Unique Keys: Ensure that the keys used for creating inspection results are unique. If you are programmatically creating records, make sure to generate unique identifiers.
  Review Batch Jobs: If this error occurs during batch processing, review the batch jobs to ensure they are not trying to create duplicate records.
