  The SAP error message G3372 indicates that there are multiple default business areas assigned to a company code in the system. This situation typically arises when the configuration settings for the company code are not set up correctly, leading to ambiguity in the assignment of business areas.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Assignments: The primary cause of this error is that more than one business area has been defined as the default for a specific company code in the system.
