• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPCE/JVAM1014 - Partner has been entered more than once ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPCE/JVAM1014 Partner has been entered more than once typically occurs in the context of partner determination in SAP, particularly when dealing with business partners in a sales or distribution scenario. This error indicates that the same partner (e.g., customer, vendor, or other business partner) has been assigned multiple times in the same context, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the same partner has been entered multiple times in the partner determination procedure for a specific document (like a sales order, delivery, etc.).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of partner determination procedures, where the same partner role is incorrectly set up to allow multiple entries.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently enter the same partner multiple times during data entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Partner Assignments: Review the partner assignments in the document where the error occurred. Ensure that each partner role (e.g., sold-to party, ship-to party, bill-to party) is assigned only once.
  Remove Duplicates: If duplicates are found, remove the extra entries so that each partner role is unique.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration of the partner determination procedure in the relevant customizing settings (transaction code SPRO). Ensure that the partner roles are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  User Training: Provide training to users on how to correctly enter partner information to avoid duplicate entries in the future.
  
  Related Information:
