This error typically arises when a performance obligation is incorrectly set up to have multiple cost condition types, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Cost Condition Types: The primary cause of this error is that the performance obligation is configured to have more than one cost condition type assigned to it. In SAP, each performance obligation should only have a single cost condition type to ensure proper accounting and reporting.

  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., FARR for contract management) and check the configuration of the performance obligation that is causing the error.
  Ensure that only one cost condition type is assigned to the performance obligation.
  
  
  
  Modify Cost Condition Types:
  
  If multiple cost condition types are assigned, you will need to remove the additional ones and retain only the necessary cost condition type.
  This can typically be done in the contract or performance obligation maintenance screen.
  
  
  
  Check Related Customizing Settings:
  
  Review the customizing settings in the SAP system related to performance obligations and cost condition types. Ensure that the settings align with the business requirements and SAP guidelines.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
