• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_SE_PUR_COMMON022 - For field &1, both BUYER_ID and INTERNAL_ID are filled in XML ?

  The SAP error message OPS_SE_PUR_COMMON022 indicates that there is a conflict in the XML data being processed, specifically that both the BUYER_ID and INTERNAL_ID fields are populated simultaneously. This situation is not allowed because the system expects only one of these fields to be filled in a given context.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the XML data being sent to the SAP system contains both BUYER_ID and INTERNAL_ID fields filled with values. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Data Mapping: The data being generated or sent to SAP may not be correctly mapped, leading to both fields being populated.
  Integration Issues: If the XML is generated from an external system, there may be a misconfiguration in the integration logic.
  User Input Error: If the XML is manually created or edited, there may be a mistake in the input.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one of the two fields (BUYER_ID or INTERNAL_ID) is populated in the XML data. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  Review the XML Data: Check the XML structure and identify where both fields are being populated.
  Modify the Data Source: If the XML is generated from an external system, adjust the logic to ensure that only one of the fields is filled based on the business rules.
  Validation Logic: Implement validation logic in the system generating the XML to prevent both fields from being populated at the same time.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the XML submission again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, SAP Ariba) to understand the expected structure of the XML and the business rules regarding BUYER_ID and INTERNAL_ID.
