This error typically arises in the context of billing documents related to the Brazilian localization (J_1IG refers to the Brazilian tax and billing processes).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A billing document is created with multiple bill-to parties, which is not supported by the system configuration.
  The billing document is trying to reference multiple customers or partners that are set up as bill-to parties, leading to ambiguity in the billing process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Billing Document: Review the billing document in question to identify if there are indeed multiple bill-to parties assigned. You can do this by navigating to the billing document in SAP and checking the partner functions.
  
  
  Adjust Partner Functions: If multiple bill-to parties are found, you will need to adjust the partner functions to ensure that only one bill-to party is assigned. This can be done by:
  
  Editing the billing document to remove the additional bill-to party.
  Ensuring that the correct bill-to party is set as the primary one.
  
  
  
  Review Customer Master Data: Check the customer master data to ensure that the bill-to party is correctly defined. If necessary, update the customer master data to reflect the correct billing information.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to billing and partner functions. Ensure that the settings allow for the correct assignment of bill-to parties.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to the Brazilian localization (J_1IG) for any additional guidelines or requirements regarding billing documents and partner functions.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the billing process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VF01 (Create Billing Document), VF02 (Change Billing Document), and VF03 (Display Billing Document) to manage billing documents effectively.
  Partner Functions: Understand the different partner functions in SAP (e.g., Sold-to Party, Ship-to Party, Bill-to Party) and how they interact in the billing process.
