  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_DUELIST_MSG006 indicates that there are multiple supplier confirmations found for a particular item or order, and the system is prompting the user to restrict their selection to avoid ambiguity. This error typically occurs in the context of supplier confirmation processing, where the system expects a unique confirmation but finds multiple entries.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Confirmations: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple supplier confirmations for the same purchase order item or delivery. This can happen if:
  
  The supplier has submitted multiple confirmations for the same order.
  There are duplicate entries in the system due to data entry errors or system integration issues.
  
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to retrieve supplier confirmations may not be specific enough, leading to multiple results being returned.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Supplier Confirmations:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., ME2N for purchase orders) and check the supplier confirmations associated with the order/item in question.
  Identify the multiple confirmations and determine which one is valid or should be processed.
  
  
  
  Restrict Selection:
  
  Modify your selection criteria to be more specific. This could involve filtering by additional fields such as confirmation date, quantity, or status to narrow down the results to a single confirmation.
  
  
  
  Delete or Consolidate Duplicates:
  
  If you find that there are indeed duplicate confirmations that should not exist, consider deleting the unnecessary ones or consolidating them into a single confirmation if applicable.
  
  
  
  Communicate with Suppliers:
  
  If the issue arises from suppliers submitting multiple confirmations, communicate with them to clarify the process and ensure they are aware of the correct procedure for submitting confirmations.
  
  
  
  Check System Configuration:
