• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARBERP_MAP059 - PO conf. req. &1 does not support more than 1 ItemIn element for item &2 ?

  The SAP error message ARBERP_MAP059 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of Purchase Order (PO) confirmations in the system. Specifically, the error states that the PO confirmation request for a particular PO does not support more than one ItemIn element for the specified item. This typically occurs in scenarios involving EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) or integration with other systems where the structure of the data being sent does not match the expected format in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Data Structure Mismatch: The incoming data for the PO confirmation contains multiple ItemIn elements for a single item, which is not supported by the configuration in SAP.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping configuration for the EDI or integration process may not be set up correctly, leading to multiple entries being generated for a single item.
  Duplicate Entries: There may be a situation where the same item is being confirmed multiple times in a single message, which is not allowed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Incoming Data: Check the structure of the incoming confirmation message to ensure that it adheres to the expected format. There should only be one ItemIn element per item in the PO confirmation.
  Adjust Mapping Configuration: If you are using middleware (like SAP PI/PO, or other EDI tools), review the mapping logic to ensure that it correctly handles the data and does not generate multiple ItemIn elements for the same item.
  Modify the Sending System: If the data is being sent from an external system, ensure that the sending system is configured to send the correct structure. This may involve changes in the application that generates the confirmation messages.
  Check for Duplicates: Ensure that there are no duplicate entries being sent for the same item in the confirmation request. If duplicates are found, they should be consolidated into a single entry.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for EDI and PO confirmations to understand the expected data structure and mapping requirements.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE05 to analyze the EDI messages and identify the structure of the incoming data.
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, consider debugging the mapping process to see where the multiple ItemIn elements are being generated.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling PO confirmations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
