When a user has a product that has multiple variants, the problem that often occurs is that the user inputs the wrong variant data, causing the variant to be not in the right product.
For example, you have 2 products "Baju Adidas" and "Celana Adidas", then, the "Red" variant with SKU code "CL-123-M" which should be on the "Celana Adidas" product, you entered the wrong product on "Baju Adidas". So, "Baju Adidas" has a duplicate variant with the same name.
