• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26272 - You can only assigned two originals for document type &1 ?

  The SAP error message 26272, which states "You can only assign two originals for document type &1," typically occurs in the context of document management or document processing within SAP. This error indicates that the system is enforcing a limitation on the number of original documents that can be assigned to a specific document type.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the configuration settings in SAP that restrict the number of original documents that can be assigned to a particular document type. This is often a business rule or a system configuration that is set to ensure compliance with certain processes or regulations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the document type in question. This can usually be found in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under the relevant module (e.g., Document Management System).
  Look for settings related to the number of originals allowed for that document type. You may need to adjust this setting if your business process requires more than two originals.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process Requirements:
  
  Confirm with your business process owners or stakeholders whether the limitation of two originals is appropriate for your current processes. If the requirement has changed, you may need to update the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check for Existing Documents:
  
  Ensure that there are not already two original documents assigned to the same document type. If there are, you may need to remove one of the existing originals before adding a new one.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on document types and their configurations. This can provide insights into best practices and potential impacts of changing settings.
