• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MVA/AMT_MESSAGES023 - Bonus-malus &1 used more than once; contracts: &2 &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /MVA/AMT_MESSAGES023 indicates that there is a problem with the bonus-malus system in the context of contract management. Specifically, the error states that a bonus-malus value (represented by &1) is being used more than once across multiple contracts (indicated by &2, &3, and &4). This typically occurs in scenarios where the same bonus-malus value is incorrectly assigned to multiple contracts, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The same bonus-malus value has been assigned to multiple contracts, which violates the uniqueness requirement of the bonus-malus system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the bonus-malus system that allow for duplicate entries.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors could lead to the same bonus-malus value being assigned to different contracts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicate Entries: Review the contracts mentioned in the error message (&2, &3, &4) to identify where the duplicate bonus-malus value (&1) is being used.
  Correct Assignments: Modify the contracts to ensure that each bonus-malus value is unique. This may involve changing the bonus-malus value for one or more of the contracts.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the bonus-malus system to ensure that it is set up correctly to prevent duplicate assignments in the future.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks during data entry to prevent the assignment of duplicate bonus-malus values.
