• Message number: 342

• Message text: More than one ADDR1_TAB record was passed

What causes this issue?

Since addresses of type CAM1 only contain address-independent
communication data, there is no point in managing different versions of
postal addresses. Therefore, the function module
ADDR_CAM1_MAINTAIN_COMPLETE does not allow the table ADDR1_TAB to be
filled with more than one record in the transfer structure
ADDR_CAM1_COMPLETE.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AM342 - More than one ADDR1_TAB record was passed ?

  The SAP error message AM342, which states "More than one ADDR1_TAB record was passed," typically occurs in the context of address management within SAP, particularly when dealing with address data in the system. This error indicates that the system has encountered multiple entries in the address table (ADDR1_TAB) when it was expecting only one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Address Records: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple address records for the same entity (e.g., a customer, vendor, or employee) in the ADDR1_TAB table.
  Incorrect Data Handling: The program or transaction that is processing the address data may not be correctly filtering or handling the records, leading to multiple entries being passed when only one is expected.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the address management that are not set up correctly, leading to unexpected behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to access the ADDR1_TAB table and check for duplicate entries. You can run a query to identify records with the same key fields.
  If duplicates are found, determine which records are valid and remove or merge the unnecessary duplicates.
  
  
  
  Review the Program Logic: 
  
  If you are working with a custom program or enhancement, review the logic that retrieves and processes address records. Ensure that it is designed to handle cases where multiple records might exist.

  Data Cleanup: 
  
  If duplicates are a result of data migration or incorrect data entry, consider running a data cleanup process to standardize and consolidate address records.
