  Solution:
  
  Review Agreement Details: Check the details of the transport agreement you are trying to save. Ensure that it only includes a single party for each role (e.g., one shipper, one carrier, one consignee).
  Modify Agreement: If you find that multiple parties are indeed included, modify the agreement to ensure that only one party is assigned to each role.
  Consult Configuration: If you believe that your business process requires multiple parties, consult with your SAP configuration team to see if the system can be adjusted to allow for this scenario.
