• Message number: 077

• Message text: Assign &1/&2 only exactly one template for the standard term

What causes this issue?

For object type &V1& or a combination of object type &V1&
/differentiation criterion &V2&, you have created multiple entries
(templates assigned) for which you have selected the
<DS:DE.RETMUSEATCREATE>New Creation</> indicator and have not entered a
number (field <LS>No.</> is <(><<)>empty>). This is not possible because
an entry with a blank number defines which template is used to create
the standard term. You Customizing settings would result in multiple
standard terms being created; however, there can only ever be one
standard term.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Decide which template is to be used to create the standard term for &V1&
/ &V2& and enter a sequential number for the other entries (templates).
