  The SAP error message CRM_GENIL_CUST006 indicates that there is an attempt to set the default flag for a specific view more than once. In the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management), views are used to represent data structures, and each view can have a default flag that indicates which entry should be considered the default.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to set the default flag for multiple entries in the same view.
  The system already has an entry marked as the default for that view, and you are attempting to set another entry as the default without first removing the default flag from the existing entry.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the View: Check the view name indicated in the error message (represented by &1).
  
  
  Check Existing Defaults: Look for the current entries in the specified view and identify which entry is currently marked as the default.
  
  
  Remove Existing Default: If you want to set a new default, you need to first remove the default flag from the existing entry. This can usually be done by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction or configuration area in SAP.
  Finding the entry that is currently marked as default.
  Unchecking or deselecting the default flag for that entry.
  
  
  
  Set New Default: After removing the default flag from the existing entry, you can now set the default flag for the desired entry.
  
  
  Save Changes: Ensure that you save your changes after making the adjustments.
