What causes this issue?

The sequence type for the first-time use of a mandate that can be used
multiple times is FRST. You are not allowed to use this sequence type
more than once.
You can use this message to control whether subsequent direct debits
with sequence type RCUR can be processed in a payment run together with
sequence type FRST, or whether only the first use is required in a
payment run.
Set this message according to your requirements:
<ZU>Message type: S</>
Sequence type FRST and RCUR in one payment run is required. Each further
use of the new mandate is executed at least one banking day after the
first usage as a recurring payment. (Standard setting)
<ZU>Message type: I</>
Sequence type FRST and RCUR in one payment run is required. A further
use of the new mandate can also be executed on the same banking day as
the first use, as a recurring payment.
<ZU>Message type: E</>
Sequence type FRST and RCUR in one payment run is not required. Only one
payment is executed for the first use of the mandate. All further
payments are put in the exception list.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ689 - > SEPA mandate & already used for the first time in this payment run ?

  The SAP error message FZ689 indicates that a SEPA mandate has already been used in the current payment run, which is not allowed. This error typically arises in the context of processing SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) payments, where mandates are required for direct debits.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Mandate Usage: The SEPA mandate associated with the payment has already been utilized in the same payment run. Each mandate can only be used once per payment run to ensure compliance with SEPA regulations.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the payment run or the mandates in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: There could be errors in the data entry process, leading to the same mandate being referenced multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Mandate Usage: Review the payment run to identify if the mandate has indeed been used. If it has, you will need to ensure that each mandate is only used once per payment run.
  Adjust Payment Run: If you find that the mandate is duplicated, you may need to adjust the payment run to exclude the duplicate entry or create a new payment run that does not include the already used mandate.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for SEPA mandates and payment runs are correct. This includes checking the settings in transaction codes like OBPM1 (for payment methods) and OBPM2 (for payment run parameters).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling SEPA mandates and payment runs.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
