  Identify the Fields: Determine which fields are causing the conflict. Review the input fields in the transaction or screen where the error occurred.
  
  
  Select Only One Field: Ensure that you only fill in one of the mutually exclusive fields. For instance, if the fields are "Customer Number" and "Vendor Number," only enter a value in one of them.
  
  
  Clear Unused Fields: If you have inadvertently filled in multiple fields, clear the values from the fields that are not needed for your transaction.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Transaction: After making the necessary adjustments, try to execute the transaction again.
