  The SAP error message ECCEDI312 indicates that a process has encountered multiple contracts that are affected by a drop operation, and it cannot automatically determine which contract to process. This typically occurs in the context of contract management or when dealing with electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Contracts: The primary cause of this error is that the system has identified more than one contract that meets the criteria for the drop operation. This can happen if:
  
  There are overlapping or conflicting contracts in the system.
  The selection criteria used to identify the contract(s) are too broad, leading to multiple matches.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity in the contracts, such as missing or incorrect information that causes the system to misinterpret which contract should be processed.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the contract management or EDI settings may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Manual Processing: As the error message suggests, you will need to process the affected contracts manually. This involves:
  
  Reviewing the contracts that are affected by the drop operation.
  Determining which contract should be processed based on your business rules or requirements.

  Refine Selection Criteria: If you frequently encounter this error, consider refining the selection criteria used for the drop operation to ensure that it targets a single contract. This may involve:
  
  Adding more specific filters or conditions to the selection process.
  Ensuring that contracts are uniquely identifiable.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup: Review the contracts in the system for any data integrity issues. This may involve:
  
  Checking for duplicates or conflicting entries.
  Ensuring that all necessary fields are populated correctly.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to contract management and EDI processes. Ensure that they are set up correctly to avoid ambiguity in contract selection.
