• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM164 - References to more than one migration object in data record ?

  The SAP error message EM164, which states "References to more than one migration object in data record," typically occurs during data migration processes, particularly when using tools like the SAP Migration Cockpit or LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench).
