• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKORDER096 - Contract &1 is used in several lines ?

  The SAP error message FKKORDER096 indicates that a contract (in this case, identified by &1) is being referenced in multiple line items of a billing document or contract management process. This situation typically arises in the context of contract accounting or billing where a single contract is not allowed to be used in multiple line items simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Line Items: The contract is being referenced in more than one line item of the billing document or contract.

  Solution:
  
  Review Line Items: Check the billing document or contract to see how many line items are referencing the same contract. You may need to adjust the line items to ensure that each contract is only referenced once.
  Create Separate Contracts: If multiple line items need to reference different aspects of the same contract, consider creating separate contracts for each line item.
  Consult Configuration: If this behavior is not expected, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to contract management and billing. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for the desired behavior.
  Error Handling: If the error persists, consider implementing error handling procedures to catch this issue early in the data entry process.
