  The SAP error message SEPA061 indicates that there is an issue with a one-time mandate that has already been used and cannot be changed due to its current status. This error typically arises in the context of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) transactions, particularly when dealing with direct debits or credit transfers.
  Cause:
  
  One-Time Mandate Already Used: The error occurs when you attempt to modify a one-time mandate that has already been executed (used) in a payment transaction. Once a one-time mandate is used, it is generally locked to prevent further changes.
  Status of the Mandate: The status of the mandate (e.g., "Used", "Expired", etc.) indicates that it is no longer eligible for modification. The status code &2 in the error message provides specific information about the current state of the mandate.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Mandate Status: Review the status of the one-time mandate in the system. If it has been used, you will not be able to change it. You can check the mandate details in the relevant transaction or report.
  Create a New Mandate: If you need to make changes, you will likely need to create a new one-time mandate instead of modifying the existing one. Ensure that the new mandate is set up correctly before using it in transactions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on handling SEPA mandates for specific procedures and best practices.
  Contact Support: If you believe this error is occurring inappropriately or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.
