• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G3633 - Dimension &1 has &2 document types for realtime updating (specify) ?

  The SAP error message G3633 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of document types for real-time updating in the system. This error typically arises when the system encounters a situation where a specific dimension (like a cost center, profit center, etc.) has more than one document type assigned for real-time updating, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Document Types: The primary cause of this error is that the specified dimension has been configured with multiple document types for real-time updating. SAP requires that each dimension can only have one document type for real-time updates to ensure data consistency and integrity.

  Look for the settings related to document types and real-time updating.
  
  
  
  Remove Redundant Document Types:
  
  Identify the document types that are assigned to the dimension and determine which one should be retained for real-time updating.
  Remove the additional document types that are not needed for real-time updating.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the real-time updating functionality works as expected.
