KA165 - Details

• The SAP error message KA165 ("You can only enter one credit object") typically occurs in the context of cost accounting or internal orders when you are trying to assign multiple credit objects to a transaction that only allows for a single credit object. This can happen in various transactions, such as when posting costs or creating internal orders.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Credit Objects: The system is designed to accept only one credit object (like a cost center, internal order, or project) for the transaction you are trying to execute. If you attempt to enter more than one, the system will trigger this error.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration of the specific transaction or module may restrict the entry to a single credit object.
  Data Entry Error: Sometimes, this error can occur due to incorrect data entry, where the user inadvertently tries to assign multiple credit objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Entries: Review the entries you are making in the transaction.
