  The SAP error message BIL052 ("You can only allocate one result parameter") typically occurs in the context of billing or allocation processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with billing documents or allocation structures.

  Check Allocation Structure: Review the allocation structure in the configuration settings. Ensure that it is set up to allow only one result parameter if that is the intended design.
  Review Billing Document Configuration: Check the configuration of the billing document type to ensure that it is correctly set up to handle the expected parameters.
