  The SAP error message CM_SCC_BUPA_REPLY014 indicates that there is an issue when trying to add an attachment to a task in the SAP system. The specific message "Cannot add attachment; select only one target task" suggests that the system is expecting you to select only one task to which the attachment can be added, but it appears that multiple tasks have been selected or none at all.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Task Selection: The most common cause of this error is that the user has selected more than one task in the interface when attempting to add an attachment.

  Select a Single Task: Ensure that you select only one task before attempting to add an attachment. If you have multiple tasks selected, deselect all but one.
  Check Task Status: Make sure that the selected task is in a status that allows attachments to be added. Some tasks may be locked or in a state that does not permit changes.
  User Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to add attachments to the selected task. If not, contact your system administrator to request the appropriate access.
