• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E9146 - &1 and &2 may only be filled with data together ?

  The SAP error message E9146 indicates that there is a data consistency issue in your SAP system, specifically related to the fields &1 and &2. This error typically arises when you are trying to fill one of these fields without filling the other, which is not allowed according to the business logic defined in the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You have two fields (let's say Field A and Field B) that are interdependent, meaning that if one is filled with data, the other must also be filled.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Identify the Fields: Determine which fields correspond to &1 and &2 in the error message. This will usually be indicated in the context of the transaction or process you are working on.
  Fill Both Fields: Ensure that both fields are filled with appropriate data. If one field is mandatory, the other must also be filled with valid data.
  Check Business Logic: Review the business logic or requirements for the transaction you are processing to understand why both fields need to be filled.
  Consult Documentation: If available, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or module you are working with for additional guidance.
