• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >4195 - Only one split possible per transaction ?

  The SAP error message "4195 Only one split possible per transaction" typically occurs in the context of document splitting in financial accounting. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform a split operation on a transaction that has already been split, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Splitting Configuration: The document splitting feature in SAP is designed to allow for the allocation of amounts to different segments or dimensions (like profit centers, cost centers, etc.) within a single accounting document. If a transaction has already been split, attempting to split it again will trigger this error.
  
  
  Multiple Splits: The error can occur if there are multiple attempts to split the same document or if the configuration allows for only one split per transaction.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The settings in the document splitting configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts when processing transactions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Document Splitting Configuration: Check the configuration settings for document splitting in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements and that they allow for the intended splits.
  
  
  Check Transaction Logic: Review the logic of the transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that it is not attempting to split the document multiple times or in a manner that is not supported by the configuration.
  
  
  Adjust Posting Logic: If you are using custom code or enhancements, ensure that the logic does not attempt to split the document more than once.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that may resolve known issues.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error does not recur and that the document splitting works as intended.
