• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP_CRM_INBOUND098 - More than one node that determines the BP category have been filled ?

  The SAP error message FSBP_CRM_INBOUND098 indicates that there is an issue with the Business Partner (BP) data being processed in the CRM system. Specifically, the error arises when more than one node that determines the Business Partner category has been filled in the inbound data. This can lead to ambiguity in determining the correct BP category, which is essential for processing the data correctly.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Data: The inbound data contains multiple entries for nodes that define the BP category, such as "Organization," "Person," or "Group."
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping of the incoming data to the BP category nodes may not be set up correctly, leading to multiple nodes being populated.
  Data Format Issues: The structure of the incoming data may not conform to the expected format, causing multiple nodes to be filled inadvertently.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Inbound Data: Check the data being sent to the SAP system. Ensure that only one node that determines the BP category is filled. For example, if you are creating a Business Partner as a person, ensure that the "Person" node is filled and that the "Organization" node is not filled.
  
  
  Adjust Data Mapping: If you are using middleware or an integration tool, review the mapping configuration to ensure that it correctly populates only one of the relevant nodes based on the type of Business Partner being created.
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks before sending the data to the SAP system to ensure that the data adheres to the expected structure and that only one BP category node is filled.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Business Partner data structures to understand the expected format and requirements for the nodes.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the inbound process with sample data to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or Knowledge Base Articles that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error.
  Integration Tools: If you are using tools like SAP PI/PO or SAP CPI for data integration, review the configurations and mappings in those tools.
