• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GSINS/NLGBA_MSG153 - You can specify only one message for msg type &1 because of msg category ?

  The SAP error message /GSINS/NLGBA_MSG153 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of message types in the system, specifically related to the message category. This error typically arises when you attempt to assign multiple messages to a single message type, which is not allowed due to the constraints of the message category.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are trying to define more than one message for a specific message type (&1) that is restricted by its message category.
  The message category is set up in such a way that it only allows a single message to be associated with that message type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Message Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path for message types (this may vary based on your specific SAP module).
  Review the configuration for the message type in question and ensure that it is set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Message Categories:
  
  Identify the message category associated with the message type.
  Check if the message category allows for multiple messages or if it is restricted to a single message.
  If it is restricted, you will need to either modify the message category or ensure that only one message is defined for that type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Messages:
  
  If you have multiple messages defined for the same message type, you will need to consolidate them into a single message or choose which one to keep.
  Delete or deactivate the unnecessary messages to comply with the restrictions of the message category.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
