  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_MESSAGES136 indicates that the system has found more than one main coverage for a specific contract. This typically occurs in the context of contract management or insurance-related modules within SAP, where a contract is expected to have a single main coverage but has been configured or entered in a way that leads to multiple main coverages being identified.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Error: Multiple main coverages may have been incorrectly assigned to the contract during data entry.
  Configuration Issues: The system configuration may allow for multiple main coverages to be defined for a single contract, which is not intended.

  Business Logic: The business rules defined in the system may not align with the expected behavior, leading to multiple main coverages being flagged.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Contract Details: Check the contract in question to see the assigned coverages. Ensure that only one coverage is marked as the main coverage.
  Correct Data Entry: If multiple main coverages are found, determine which one should be the main coverage and update the contract accordingly.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the rules for main coverage are correctly set up. This may involve consulting with a system administrator or SAP consultant.
  Database Cleanup: If duplicate records are found, they may need to be cleaned up. This could involve deleting or merging records to ensure that only one main coverage exists.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing coverages within contracts.
