EK809 - Details

• The SAP error message EK809 ("Only one contract can be processed at any one time") typically occurs when you are trying to process multiple contracts simultaneously in a transaction that only allows for one contract to be processed at a time. This is common in transactions related to purchasing or contract management.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Contract Selection: The user may have selected multiple contracts in a transaction that only supports single contract processing.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict processing to one contract at a time for certain transactions.
  User Error: The user may not be aware that the transaction they are attempting to perform is limited to a single contract.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Contract: Ensure that you are only selecting one contract for processing. If you have multiple contracts selected, deselect the additional contracts and try again.
  Check Transaction Type: Verify that the transaction you are using is intended for single contract processing.
