• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER222 - Order &1: Only one item permitted for kanban purchase order &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER222 indicates that there is an issue with a Kanban purchase order in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error states that only one item is permitted for the specified Kanban purchase order. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or process a Kanban purchase order that contains multiple items, which is not allowed in this context.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Items in Kanban Purchase Order: The primary cause of this error is that the Kanban purchase order being processed contains more than one item. Kanban purchase orders are designed to handle a single item at a time to maintain simplicity and clarity in the supply chain process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that enforce this restriction, which could be misconfigured or not aligned with the business process requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Kanban Purchase Order: Review the Kanban purchase order in question (identified by the order number &1) to ensure that it contains only one item. If it contains multiple items, you will need to create separate Kanban purchase orders for each item.
  Create Separate Orders: If you need to order multiple items, create individual Kanban purchase orders for each item instead of trying to combine them into one order.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the business process should allow multiple items in a Kanban purchase order, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to Kanban processing. Adjustments may be needed to align the system with your business requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on managing Kanban orders and understanding the limitations of the system.
