  Review Shipment Items: Check the shipment items you are trying to create or modify. Ensure that each item has only one product or freight group assigned.
  Split Shipment Items: If you have multiple products or freight groups that need to be shipped together, consider splitting them into separate shipment items. Each item should represent only one product or freight group.
  Adjust Data Entry: When entering data for the shipment, ensure that you are not inadvertently assigning multiple products or freight groups to a single item.
  Consult Configuration: If you believe that the business process should allow multiple products or freight groups per item, consult with your SAP TM configuration team to review the settings and determine if adjustments can be made to accommodate your business needs.
