This error happens when Endevor compares the Footprint of the From Element and the To Element. The System,Subsystem,Type and Stage must match.
Common reason for this error is more than one Element with the same name are being stored to the same Base file, and COMPRESS/ENCRYPT(Y/N) in the TYPE Definition is set to N.
Check the footprint of the Element's Base library. So in the example above check BST.QA.BASE for member GL01's footprint.

The footprint should tell you what happened, what's different between the 2 footprints.
If both Elements are valid and you want to retain both Elements Change the Type Definition on One or Both Types to COMPRESS/ENCRYPT(Y/N) ===> Y
This will store the Member in the Base as a Compressed name. So the member name will not be GL02 (as per the example). So no two names will be the same. Another way is to change the Base dataset(in the Type definition) so the two Elements are stored on the same Base file.
If you only want to keep the new Element and Delete the old Element(so keep the one you're moving). Then you can use Endevor Delete, Transmit(with delete from behind) or Archive (with Delete from behind).
If you want to keep the Element you are moving to. Retrieve the Element to a lower Environment/Stage to the same System/Subsystem/Type as the existing Element. Then move it up.
Going forward if you want to prevent this in the future you can do the following:
-Look at altering your System definitions changing "ELEMENT REGISTRATION CHECK OPTIONS" to prevent Element duplications.
-Look at changes to the options table (CSIQSRC(ENCOPTBL)) for option ENHOPT REGISTER_ACROSS_SYSTEMS.
-Change COMPRESS/ENCRYPT(Y/N) ===> to Y for you Type Definitions.
-Change the Base dataset so it's unique for a System/Subsystem/Type you can use symbolics
for example:
BASE/IMAGE LIBRARY ===> BST.&C1SYSTEM..&C1SUBSYS..&C1STAGE..BASE
This dataset would be : BST.system.subsystem.stagename.BASE
