  The SAP error message K8061 ("Only one value may be transferred from cost center and activity type") typically occurs in the context of cost accounting when you are trying to post or transfer data that involves cost centers and activity types. This error indicates that the system expects a single value for either the cost center or the activity type, but multiple values have been provided.

  Multiple Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction or report you are executing is trying to process multiple cost centers or activity types at the same time, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are performing.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be an issue with how the data is being entered or structured, leading to multiple values being interpreted by the system.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not set up to handle multiple values for the specific transaction or report.

  Check Input Values: Review the input values you are providing for cost centers and activity types. Ensure that you are only entering one value for each.
  Data Structure: If you are using a program or report that allows for multiple entries, ensure that you are using the correct structure or format that the program expects.
  Transaction Type: Verify that the transaction you are using is designed to handle the data you are trying to process. If it is not, you may need to use a different transaction or method.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or report to understand the expected input format.
