• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPXN071 - Consumer Mapping is a single target mapping, but has targets &1 and &2 ?

  The SAP error message SPXN071 indicates that there is an issue with the consumer mapping in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the consumer mapping is defined as a single target mapping, but it has multiple targets specified (in this case, &1 and &2 represent the target systems or objects).
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: The consumer mapping is configured to point to a single target, but the system has detected multiple targets associated with that mapping.
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or mapping definitions that lead to this conflict.
  Changes in Target Definitions: If the target definitions were modified after the consumer mapping was created, it could lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SPXN071 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review the Consumer Mapping:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO or the specific mapping transaction) and check the consumer mapping configuration.
  Ensure that the mapping is indeed intended to be a single target mapping.
  
  
  
  Check Target Definitions:
  
  Verify the target definitions associated with the consumer mapping. Make sure that only one target is defined.
  If multiple targets are defined, you will need to decide which one should be retained and remove the others.
  
  
  
  Adjust Mapping Configuration:
  
  If the mapping is supposed to have multiple targets, you may need to change the configuration to allow for multiple target mappings instead of a single target mapping.
  If it should remain a single target mapping, correct the configuration to ensure only one target is specified.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the consumer mapping to ensure that it works as expected without triggering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO (for configuration) or other relevant transaction codes for mapping and data model management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on consumer mapping configurations.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By carefully reviewing the mapping configuration and ensuring that it aligns with the intended design, you should be able to resolve the SPXN071 error.
