  The SAP error message "SAPLWSPO202 No more than one creditor is allowed in purchase order &1" typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a purchase order (PO) that has multiple creditors (vendors) assigned to it. In SAP, a purchase order is generally expected to have only one vendor associated with it for clarity and proper accounting.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Vendors: The primary cause of this error is that the purchase order you are trying to create or modify has more than one vendor assigned to it.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in data entry where multiple vendor accounts were inadvertently linked to the same purchase order.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration may not allow multiple creditors for a single purchase order, which is standard in many business processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Vendor Assignment: Review the purchase order to ensure that only one vendor is assigned. You can do this by navigating to the purchase order in the SAP system and checking the vendor field.
  Create Separate Purchase Orders: If you need to order from multiple vendors, create separate purchase orders for each vendor instead of trying to combine them into one.
  Modify Existing Purchase Order: If you have an existing purchase order with multiple vendors, you may need to modify it to remove the additional vendor(s) and ensure that only one remains.
  Consult with SAP Support: If you believe that the error is occurring due to a system configuration issue, consult with your SAP support team or system administrator to review the settings and make necessary adjustments.
