Laravel firstOrCreate would not update in case that the register already exists in the DB. Here the improved solution as we actually needed to update a table that has unique values not only for the column "id"

	public static function createOrUpdate($data, $keys) {
		$record = self::where($keys)->first();
	    if (is_null($record)) {
	        return self::create($data);
	    } else {
	        return $record->update($data);
	    }
	}
