• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_UL002 - Multiple active general customizing settings not permitted ?

  The SAP error message "ADS2KIPUPL_UL002: Multiple active general customizing settings not permitted" typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there are conflicting or multiple active customizing settings for a particular configuration. This can happen in various modules, but it is often related to the configuration of the system where multiple entries are trying to be active at the same time, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Active Settings: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple active customizing settings for the same object or configuration. This can happen if:
  
  Customizing settings were not properly deactivated before activating new ones.
  There are inconsistencies in the transport requests that have been imported into the system.
  Manual changes were made in the customizing settings that conflict with existing settings.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If transport requests containing customizing settings are not properly managed, it can lead to multiple active settings.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Errors in the configuration process, such as not following the correct sequence of activation or deactivation of settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Settings: 
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and check the active settings for the specific configuration that is causing the error.
  Identify if there are multiple entries that are active and causing the conflict.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Conflicting Settings: 
  
  If you find multiple active settings, deactivate the ones that are not needed. This can usually be done in the customizing transaction where the settings are maintained.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  Ensure that transport requests are properly managed. If you suspect that a transport request has caused the issue, you may need to revert or adjust the transport settings.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check: 
  
  Perform a consistency check in the system to ensure that all customizing settings are in sync and there are no conflicts.
