• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FB_MESSAGES013 - More than one value in path result type. Only one value expected ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/3FB_MESSAGES013 indicates that a query or operation is returning more than one value when only a single value is expected. This typically occurs in scenarios involving data retrieval, such as when using function modules, BAPIs, or queries that are expected to return a single record but instead return multiple records.
  Cause:
  
  Query Design: The query or function call is designed to return a single value, but the underlying data or logic allows for multiple values to be returned.
  Data Issues: There may be duplicate entries in the database that match the criteria of the query, leading to multiple results.
  Incorrect Filters: The filters or selection criteria applied in the query may not be restrictive enough, causing multiple records to be selected.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration of the system or the specific module may not be set up correctly, leading to unexpected results.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Query: Check the logic of the query or function module to ensure that it is designed to return a single value. If it is supposed to return multiple values, consider modifying the logic to handle multiple results appropriately.
  Add Filters: If the query is returning multiple records due to insufficient filtering, add more specific criteria to narrow down the results to a single record.
  Check Data Integrity: Investigate the underlying data to identify any duplicates or inconsistencies. If duplicates exist, consider cleaning up the data or adjusting the query to handle them.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution of the query or function module. This can help identify where the multiple values are being generated.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific function module or BAPI being used to understand its expected behavior and any limitations regarding the number of returned values.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific error message or the function module you are using.
