  Multiple Incumbent Carriers: The error occurs when you attempt to assign more than one incumbent carrier to a specific item in a trade lane. In SAP TM, an incumbent carrier is typically the preferred carrier for a specific route or trade lane.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the trade lane settings or the carrier assignment process.
  Data Entry Errors: During the creation or modification of a trade lane, there may have been an error in data entry that led to multiple carriers being assigned.

  Ensure that only one incumbent carrier is assigned to the item in question.

  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the data entered for the trade lane is consistent and adheres to the business rules defined in your SAP TM configuration.

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP TM documentation for guidelines on setting up trade lanes and managing carrier assignments. This can provide insights into best practices and configuration steps.
  
  
  
  Testing:
