• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CHIP_API658 - Mulitple proposals with the same multiplicity; therefore no proposal ?

  The SAP error message CHIP_API658 indicates that there are multiple proposals with the same multiplicity in a certain context, which prevents the system from determining a single valid proposal. This typically occurs in scenarios involving configuration or planning where the system is trying to select a proposal based on certain criteria, but finds multiple options that are equally valid.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Valid Proposals: The system has identified multiple proposals that meet the criteria for selection, but they have the same multiplicity (i.e., they are equally valid).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the relevant master data or transaction data that lead to multiple proposals being generated.
  Data Duplication: There could be duplicate entries in the database that are causing the system to generate multiple proposals.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Proposals: Check the proposals generated by the system to understand why multiple options are being presented. This can often be done through transaction codes related to the specific module you are working in (e.g., PP, SD, etc.).
  Adjust Criteria: If possible, refine the selection criteria to ensure that only one proposal is valid. This may involve adjusting parameters or filters in the transaction.
  Data Cleanup: Investigate the underlying data for duplicates or inconsistencies. Clean up any duplicate entries in the relevant master data or transactional data.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to the process you are working on. Ensure that the settings are correctly defined to avoid generating multiple proposals.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to analyze the proposals (e.g., MD04 for stock/requirements list, CO01 for production orders).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that may address this issue.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
