  The SAP error message SAPLWSPO170 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of document types in the SAP system, specifically in the context of the workflow for document processing. The message states: "Mark only one normal document type as default." This typically occurs when multiple document types are set as default in the system, which is not allowed.
