  Error Message
  WRF_APC587: Long text for language &1 already exists
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or add a long text in a particular language for an object (such as a work order, notification, or any other SAP object that supports long texts), but a long text in that language already exists for the same object.
  In other words, the system prevents duplicate long texts in the same language for the same object because it expects only one long text per language per object.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or copying long texts in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM), Customer Service (CS), or other modules where long texts are maintained.
  When using transactions or programs that handle long texts and attempt to insert a new long text entry for a language that already has one.
  During data migration
