• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BTX053 - Select only one address for synchronization ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BTX053 Select only one address for synchronization typically occurs in the context of address synchronization processes, particularly when dealing with multiple addresses that are associated with a single entity (like a business partner or customer) in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system detects that there are multiple addresses linked to a single entity, and the synchronization process requires a single address to be selected. The system cannot proceed with the synchronization because it does not know which address to use.

  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Entity: Determine which entity (e.g., business partner, customer, vendor) is causing the issue.
  
  
  Check Associated Addresses: Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (like BP for Business Partner) and check the addresses associated with the entity. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the Business Partner transaction (BP).
  Entering the ID of the business partner in question.
  Reviewing the addresses listed under the "Address" tab.
  
  
  
  Select a Single Address: If multiple addresses are present, you need to decide which address should be used for synchronization. You can either:
  
  Delete the unnecessary addresses.
  Mark one address as the primary address if the system allows it.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Synchronization: After ensuring that only one address is available for synchronization, try to run the synchronization process again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about which address to keep or how to proceed, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
