  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS340 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of text dependencies in your SAP system. Specifically, the error states that only one text dependency is allowed, but multiple dependencies have been delivered.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or when working with text elements in the system. The root cause can be one of the following:
  
  Multiple Text Dependencies: The system is trying to process more than one text dependency for a particular object or field, which is not allowed.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the way text dependencies are set up in the system.
  Data Model Issue: The data model may have been incorrectly defined, leading to multiple dependencies being associated with a single object.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Text Dependencies: Review the text dependencies associated with the object or field in question. Ensure that only one text dependency is defined.
  
  
  Modify Configuration: If you find multiple text dependencies, you will need to modify the configuration to ensure that only one is active. This may involve:
  
  Deleting or deactivating the unnecessary text dependencies.
  Adjusting the configuration settings in the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction codes like FDT1 for text dependencies).
  
  
  
  Review Data Model: If the issue is related to the data model, review the definitions and ensure that they comply with the requirements of having a single text dependency.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring text dependencies correctly.
