• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIG306 - Only 8 individual signatures allowed per signature strategy ?

  The SAP error message SIG306, which states "Only 8 individual signatures allowed per signature strategy," typically occurs in the context of SAP's digital signature functionality, particularly when dealing with signature strategies in workflows or document approvals.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to define or configure a signature strategy that exceeds the limit of 8 individual signatures. This limit is set by the system to ensure performance and manageability of signature processes. Each signature strategy can only accommodate a maximum of 8 individual signatures, and if you try to add more than that, the system will trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SIG306 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Signature Strategy: Check the current configuration of your signature strategy. Identify how many individual signatures are currently defined.
  
  
  Reduce Signatures: If you have more than 8 signatures defined, you will need to reduce the number of individual signatures. This can be done
