• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_WSC232 - Read output: exactly one structure must be designated as entry point ?

  The SAP error message CRM_WSC232 indicates that there is an issue with the Web Service Consumer (WSC) configuration in SAP CRM. Specifically, it means that when defining the output structure for a web service, the system expects exactly one structure to be designated as the entry point, but it has found either none or more than one.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Structures Defined: The output of the web service may have multiple structures defined, and the system cannot determine which one should be the entry point.
  No Structure Defined: There may be no structure defined as the entry point, which is required for the web service to function correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the web service might be incorrect, leading to ambiguity in the output structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Output Structure: Review the output structure of the web service in the WSC configuration. Ensure that there is exactly one structure designated as the entry point.
  Modify the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SOAMANAGER or the specific transaction for your web service).
  Navigate to the output structure settings.
  Ensure that only one structure is marked as the entry point. If there are multiple, you will need to decide which one should be the entry point and adjust the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  Test the Web Service: After making the necessary changes, test the web service again to ensure that the error is resolved.
