Specifically, this error occurs when a rate table template has multiple charge types defined, but the system expects that only one charge type should be entered.

  Solution:
  
  
  Review Rate Table Template: Check the configuration of the rate table template to see how many charge types are defined. If multiple charge types are present, you may need to either:

  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure rate table templates and charge types.
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to modify the rate table templates and that they are following the correct procedures.
