  The SAP error message FICO1258 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a recurring document or a similar financial transaction where the repetition unit is set to "weeks." The error specifically states that only one key date is permitted when the repetition unit is set to weeks. 
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a recurring document (like a recurring invoice or payment) and have specified multiple key dates for a repetition unit that is set to "weeks." In SAP, when the repetition unit is weeks, the system expects only one key date to determine the start of the recurring transaction.

  Check the Repetition Settings: Go to the transaction where you are creating or modifying the recurring document. Look for the section where you define the repetition settings.
  
  
  Single Key Date: Ensure that you have only one key date specified. If you have multiple key dates, remove the additional ones and keep only one.
  
  
  Adjust Repetition Unit: If your business process requires multiple key dates, consider changing the repetition unit to a different option that allows for multiple key dates, such as "months" or "days," depending on your requirements.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about how to set up the recurring document correctly, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to recurring documents in the FICO module.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, try to save or execute the transaction again to see if the error persists.
