I get this error when importing a record in Account entity, "A record was not created or updated because a duplicate of the current record already exits." I need help to resolve this so I can import parent and child records for Account.
Background:
Account Entity:
Account entity has accountid (Display Name: Account), which is a primary key (default). Has name (Display Name: Account Preferred Name), which is a text (default). Then there is parentaccountid (Display Name: Parent Account), which is a lookup field (by default).
Under Account entity, I have created new field, new_cesclientid (Display Name: CES Client ID), which is a whole number and is unique too. I created this because accountid is a GUID and hard to use it by the user in an application.
After creating this field, I wanted to load the data into Dynamcis. I was able to import this record into Account successfully (Merit Health Care System, 1518). This is a parent record.

Issue: I had imported 3 child records but Parent Account was blank before or it was not associated. Now, I had to update the 3 child records to their Parent Account. The record is listed below and having problem importing them. I get an error message when importing, “A record was not created or updated because a duplicate of the current record already exits.” I have checked and there is no other account by same new_cesclientid (CES Client ID).

Attached is the error message.

I greatly appreciate any help that you can provide. I am a newbie and trying out different things and going over forums. Any help in detail would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
