  Cause:
  This error message is triggered when there is an attempt to enter or maintain values in the Fuel Type (EGTYP) and CO2 Emissions (CO2EM) fields simultaneously. The system is designed to prevent users from entering data in both fields at the same time, as this could lead to inconsistencies or incorrect data reporting.
  Solution:

  Review Data Entry: Check the data you are trying to enter. Ensure that you are only populating either the Fuel Type (EGTYP) or the CO2 Emissions (CO2EM) field, but not both.
  
  
  Clear Unnecessary Fields: If you have inadvertently filled both fields, clear one of them based on your requirements. For example, if you need to specify the fuel type, remove the CO2 emissions data, and vice versa.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines regarding the maintenance of these fields to understand the correct usage.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the system should allow both fields to be populated under certain conditions, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to review the configuration settings. There may be a need for adjustments in the validation rules.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users who are entering data are trained on the correct procedures for maintaining these fields to avoid future occurrences of this error.
