• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LK074 - Several TOs with the switch KOMIM within one IDoc are not permitted. ?

  The SAP error message LK074 indicates that there are multiple Transfer Orders (TOs) associated with the same IDoc that have the switch KOMIM (which typically refers to a specific configuration or setting related to the handling of transfer orders). This situation is not permitted in SAP, as each IDoc should ideally correspond to a single transfer order to maintain data integrity and avoid confusion during processing.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Multiple TOs in a Single IDoc: The IDoc being processed contains multiple transfer orders, which is not allowed when the KOMIM switch is active.
  Incorrect IDoc Configuration: The IDoc structure or configuration may not be set up correctly to handle multiple transfer orders.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be issues with the data being sent to SAP, such as incorrect mappings or multiple entries being generated unintentionally.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the LK074 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check IDoc Structure: Review the IDoc structure to ensure that it is designed to handle only one transfer order per IDoc when the KOMIM switch is active. If necessary, modify the IDoc configuration.
  
  
  Review Data Source: Investigate the source of the IDoc data. Ensure that the data being sent does not contain multiple transfer orders. If it does, you may need to adjust the data extraction or transformation process to ensure that only one TO is included per IDoc.
  
  
  Split IDocs: If you need to process multiple transfer orders, consider splitting them into separate IDocs. This can often be done in the middleware or integration layer that generates the IDocs.
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic: If there is any custom logic or user exits that manipulate the IDoc data, review that code to ensure it is not inadvertently creating multiple TOs in a single IDoc.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific IDoc type and the KOMIM switch for any additional configuration or handling guidelines.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the IDoc processing with a single transfer order to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Types: Familiarize yourself with the specific IDoc type being used for transfer orders (e.g., MATMAS, DELFOR, etc.) and their structure.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the LK074 error or the specific IDoc type.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE19 to monitor and test IDocs.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the LK074 error and implement a solution to prevent it from occurring in the future.
