This can occur in the context of SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR) or SAP Contract Management, where guarantees are associated with contracts.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Multiple Guarantee Agreements: The contract in question has been associated with more than one guarantee agreement, which is not allowed in the system.
