• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS202 - One entry possibility was found ?

  The SAP error message KS202 ("One entry possibility was found") typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal order management when the system is trying to find a valid cost center or internal order for a transaction. This message indicates that the system has identified a single valid entry for the specified criteria, but it may not be what the user intended or expected.
  Cause:
  
  Single Valid Entry: The error suggests that there is only one valid entry in the system that matches the criteria provided in the transaction. This can happen if the user is trying to enter a cost center or internal order that is not fully specified or if there are restrictions in the selection criteria.
  Missing or Incorrect Data: The data entered may be incomplete or incorrect, leading the system to find only one possible match.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that limit the visibility of certain cost centers or internal orders.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Input Data: Check the data you have entered for accuracy. Ensure that you are using the correct cost center or internal order number.
  Check Master Data: Verify that the cost center or internal order exists in the system and is active. You can do this by navigating to the relevant master data transaction (e.g., KS03 for cost centers).
  Use Full Specification: If you are using a search or selection screen, try to provide more specific criteria to avoid ambiguity.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for cost centers and internal orders are correctly configured and that there are no restrictions in place that would limit the entries available to you.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address this specific error message or provide additional context.
