• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/SE_MDM061 - Invalid selection, both MaterialInternalID and MaterialID provided ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/SE_MDM061 Invalid selection, both MaterialInternalID and MaterialID provided typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is a conflict in the identifiers being used to reference a material. Specifically, this error indicates that both the MaterialInternalID and MaterialID have been provided in a request, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Identifiers: The system expects either the MaterialInternalID or the MaterialID to be provided, but not both. Providing both leads to ambiguity in identifying the material.
  Incorrect Data Mapping: There may be a misconfiguration in the data mapping or integration process where both identifiers are being sent inadvertently.
  User Input Error: If the identifiers are being input manually, there may be a mistake in the data entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Input Parameters: Check the input parameters being sent in the request. Ensure that only one of the identifiers (MaterialInternalID or MaterialID) is included.
  Adjust Data Mapping: If this error arises from an integration process (e.g., an interface with another system), review the mapping logic to ensure that only one identifier is passed based on the context.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application or integration logic to catch this scenario and provide a meaningful message to the user or log it for further analysis.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the correct identifier is being used in the appropriate scenarios.
