• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTBU565 - Default indicator can only be set once ?

  The SAP error message FTBU565, which states "Default indicator can only be set once," typically occurs in the context of maintaining or configuring certain master data, such as in the Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) modules. This error indicates that the system has detected an attempt to set the default indicator for a particular field or record more than once, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Default Indicator: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple entries in the same context (e.g., for the same account, cost center, or other master data) where the default indicator is being set. The system only allows one entry to have the default indicator set to "Yes" or "True."
  Incorrect Data Entry: Users may inadvertently try to set the default indicator for multiple records when only one should be designated as the default.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings that allow for multiple defaults to be set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Existing Records: Check the records in the relevant master data table to see if there is already a record with the default indicator set. You can do this by using transaction codes like FS00 for G/L accounts or KS01 for cost centers.
  Remove Duplicate Default: If you find multiple records with the default indicator set, you will need to remove the default indicator from all but one of those records. Ensure that only one record has the default indicator set to "Yes."
  Data Entry Validation: Implement validation checks during data entry to prevent users from inadvertently setting multiple defaults. This can be done through user training or by customizing the input screens.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific guidance on the master data you are working with, as the rules may vary depending on the context.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing master data, such as FS00 (G/L Account), FSP0 (G/L Account Master Data), KS01 (Cost Center), etc.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to make changes to master data, as this can sometimes lead to confusion and errors.
