• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P9222 - Two payment methods selected: &1 and &2 ?

  The SAP error message P9222, which states "Two payment methods selected: &1 and &2," typically occurs in the context of payment processing within SAP systems, particularly when dealing with payment runs or payment proposals. This error indicates that the system has detected that two different payment methods have been selected for the same payment run or transaction, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Payment Methods: The primary cause of this error is that the payment run or proposal has been configured to include multiple payment methods that are not compatible with each other.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of payment methods in the system, leading to the selection of more than one payment method inadvertently.
  Master Data Issues: Vendor or customer master data may have multiple payment methods assigned, causing conflicts during payment processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payment Method Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of payment methods in the SAP system. Ensure that the payment methods being used in the payment run are compatible and that only one payment method is selected.
  Navigate to the configuration settings for payment methods in the SAP system (Transaction code: OBVCU) and verify the settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payment Proposal:
  
  When creating a payment proposal, ensure that only one payment method is selected. You can do this by filtering the payment methods in the payment run selection screen.
  If you need to process payments for different payment methods, consider running separate payment runs for each method.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor/Customer Master Data:
  
  Review the vendor or customer master records to ensure that only one payment method is assigned where necessary. You can do this using transaction codes like XK03 (for vendors) or FD03 (for customers).
  If multiple payment methods are assigned, consider adjusting the master data to reflect the desired payment method.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling payment methods and payment runs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions) for running payment proposals and OBVCU for configuring payment methods.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to payment processing and the specific error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to manage payment methods and run payment proposals.
