• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICA_DCM_EA002 - More than one enforcement action type defined for the collection step &1 ?

  The SAP error message FICA_DCM_EA002 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the enforcement action types defined for a specific collection step in the SAP Collections Management (FICA) module. This error typically arises when more than one enforcement action type is assigned to a single collection step, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has been configured with multiple enforcement action types for a single collection step, which leads to ambiguity in processing. Enforcement action types are used to define the actions that can be taken during the collections process, and each collection step should have a unique enforcement action type assigned to it.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the collection steps and enforcement action types in the SAP system. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the configuration for Collections Management. This is usually found under:
  SPRO -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Collections Management -> Define Collection Steps
  
  
  
  
  Review Collection Steps:
  
  Identify the collection step mentioned in the error message (denoted as &1).
  Check the enforcement action types assigned to this collection step.
  
  
  
  Modify Configuration:
  
  If you find that multiple enforcement action types are assigned to the same collection step, you will need to modify the configuration to ensure that only one enforcement action type is assigned to that step.
  You can either remove the additional enforcement action types or create a new collection step if multiple actions are necessary.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the collection process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made for future reference and to maintain clarity in the configuration.
