• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0D220 - &1: &2: At least two line items (&3) are required for this document type ?

  The SAP error message 0D220 indicates that a specific document type requires at least two line items to be processed. This error typically occurs in scenarios where a document (like a purchase order, invoice, or similar) is being created or modified, and the system expects multiple line items for that document type.
  Cause:
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type you are trying to use has been configured in such a way that it mandates a minimum of two line items.
  Business Process Requirement: The business process associated with that document type may require multiple entries for proper processing (e.g., a purchase order that needs to include multiple items).
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently entered only one line item when the system requires at least two.
  
  Solution:
  
  Add Additional Line Items: The simplest solution is to add at least one more line item to the document you are trying to create or modify. Ensure that the additional line item meets the necessary criteria for the document type.
  Check Document Type Settings: If you believe that the requirement for two line items is not appropriate for your business process, you may need to review the configuration of the document type in the SAP system. This can typically be done by a system administrator or someone with the appropriate authorization.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the document type in transaction codes like SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and check the settings under the relevant module (e.g., MM for materials management, SD for sales and distribution).
  
  
  Consult with Business Process Owners: If the requirement for two line items is part of a business rule, consult with the relevant business process owners to understand the rationale and ensure compliance with business practices.
