  The SAP error message /IAM/INTEGRATION004 Mapping &1, step &2 contains multiple assignments to field &3 typically indicates that there is a problem in the mapping configuration within the SAP Identity Management (IdM) system. This error occurs when a specific field in the mapping step is being assigned multiple values, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Assignments: The error is triggered when the mapping logic attempts to assign more than one value to a single field. This can happen if:
  
  The mapping rules are incorrectly defined.
  There are conflicting assignments in the mapping configuration.
  The source data contains multiple values for a field that is expected to have a single value.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping Logic: The mapping logic may not be properly set up to handle the data structure or the expected output.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Mapping Configuration:
  
  Open the mapping configuration for the specified mapping (&1) and step (&2).
  Check the assignments to the field (&3) and ensure that there is only one assignment for that field.
  
  
  
  Modify Mapping Logic:
  
  If multiple values are being assigned due to the source data, consider modifying the mapping logic to handle this scenario. You may need to aggregate values or select a specific value based on certain criteria.
  
  
  
  Use Conditions:
  
  If applicable, use conditions in the mapping to ensure that only one value is assigned based on specific criteria.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making changes to the mapping configuration, test the mapping to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data is being processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
