ErrorCode:6240, Message:Duplicate Name Exists Error, Element:, Detail:The name supplied already exists. : Id=129

Cause

If you are seeing this error while creating a new contact, either a supplier/vendor or customer account, it would indicate that a contact already exists with this name. This could be in either your supplier or customer contacts list.

Resolution

To clear this error, you will need to enter a slightly different contact name. You will not be able to have two contacts with the same name, even if one is a supplier/vendor and the other is a customer contact.
