• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MAIN166 - A season type can only be assigned to one season ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MAIN166 indicates that a specific season type is being assigned to more than one season, which is not allowed in the SAP Fashion Management (FSH) module. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to assign a season type to multiple seasons in the system, violating the one-to-one relationship that SAP enforces between season types and seasons.
