Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_FW_ADS044 - Form group &1 contains more than one entry; form &2 is used ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_FW_ADS044 indicates that there is a conflict in the form group configuration within the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the specified form group contains more than one entry, but the system is trying to use a specific form that is not uniquely defined within that group.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Entries: The form group specified in the error message has multiple forms associated with it, which leads to ambiguity when the system tries to determine which form to use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the form group settings, where multiple forms are incorrectly assigned to the same group.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the data or settings related to the forms and their groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Form Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where form groups are defined (usually in the SPRO transaction).
  Review the entries in the form group specified in the error message. Ensure that there is only one form assigned to that group or that the correct form is designated as the default.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Entries:
  
  If you find multiple forms assigned to the same group, decide which form should be the primary one and remove or deactivate the others.
  
  
  
  Assign Unique Forms:
  
  If necessary, create a new form group for the additional forms instead of having them all in one group.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the correct form is being used.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing form groups and forms.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) to access configuration settings or SFP (Form Builder) to manage forms.
  Form Types: Understand the types of forms you are working with (e.g., Adobe forms, Smart Forms) as the configuration might differ.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
