• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABB_PROC005 - Process type=&1 / step type=&2 unable to process >1 contracts ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_PROC005 Process type=&1 / step type=&2 unable to process >1 contracts typically indicates that a specific process type or step type in the SAP system is trying to handle more than one contract at a time, which is not allowed for that particular process or step.
  Cause:
  
  Process Limitation: The process type or step type defined in the system may be designed to handle only one contract at a time. This is common in processes that require individual contract processing due to dependencies or specific business rules.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the processing of multiple contracts simultaneously.

  Solution:
  
  Check Process Configuration: Review the configuration of the process type and step type in the SAP system. Ensure that they are set up to handle the expected number of contracts. If the process should allow multiple contracts, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  Single Contract Processing: If the process is indeed designed to handle only one contract, ensure that you are only passing a single contract to the process. Modify your input to include only one contract at a time.
