  The SAP error message /CPD/CL_MSG194 Select only one division as default typically occurs in the context of configuration or master data settings within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with divisions in a sales or distribution module.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system expects a single default division to be selected, but multiple divisions have been defined or selected. In many cases, this can happen during the configuration of sales areas, customer master data, or when setting up default values for transactions.

  Access the Configuration Settings:

  Navigate to the section where divisions are defined (e.g., Sales and Distribution > Master Data > Business Partners > Define Divisions).
  
  
  
  Check Existing Settings:
  
  Review the current settings for divisions. Look for any entries that may have multiple divisions marked as default.
  
  
  
  Set a Single Default Division:
  
  If you find multiple divisions set as default, select only one division to be the default.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
