This error typically arises when a field that is expected to hold a single value is being assigned multiple values or is being queried in a manner that suggests it can hold multiple values.
  Cause:
  
  Field Configuration: The field in question is configured to accept only single values, but the query or data being processed is attempting to assign or retrieve multiple values.

  Solution:
  
  Review the Query: Check the XI query to ensure that it is not attempting to assign multiple values to the field. Modify the query to ensure that only a single value is being used for the field in question.
  Field Configuration: Verify the configuration of the field in the SAP system. Ensure that it is indeed set to accept only single values and that this is the intended behavior.
  Data Transformation: If you are using a mapping or transformation tool, review the mapping logic to ensure that it is not inadvertently trying to assign multiple values to the field.
