• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAFM_EOPO028 - Only 1 entry can be marked as default for a company code ?

  The SAP error message SAFM_EOPO028 indicates that there is an issue with the default settings for a company code in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that only one entry can be marked as the default for a particular company code, and the system has detected that there are multiple entries marked as default.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You have multiple entries in a configuration table (such as for payment methods, bank accounts, or other settings) that are set as the default for the same company code.
  The system enforces a rule that only one entry can be designated as the default for a specific company code, leading to a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Entries:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where the entries are maintained (e.g., payment methods, bank accounts).
  Check the entries for the specific company code that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Review Default Settings:
  
  Look for entries that are marked as default. You can usually find a checkbox or a similar indicator that shows which entry is set as the default.
  
  
  
  Modify the Entries:
  
  If you find multiple entries marked as default, you will need to change the settings:
  
  Uncheck the default option for all but one of the entries.
  Ensure that only one entry remains marked as the default for that company code.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and exit the configuration area.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Perform a test transaction or action that previously triggered the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
