The default value is "N." See sample screen below:


Generally speaking, having duplicate components for the same parent item is considered to be an exception. So you want to treat it as an "Error" by default.  Then during the Pre-interface, if there are any errors, you can easily see them  as "Errors" at the end of the report. See sample below:


You can then search for "Error" in the report to identify to reason easily.  For example, if it is caused by duplicate component item, you will see the following sample: 

If you confirmed that the duplicate component item exceptions are expected, then you can simply change the flag "3. Allow Duplicate Components?" to "Y" and try again.
