• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/ADDRESS010 - You can only mark a bill-from address as the default bill-from address ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/ADDRESS010 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of addresses in the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to mark an address as the default bill-from address, but the system restricts this action because it can only allow one address to be marked as the default bill-from address at a time.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected that there is already a default bill-from address set, and you are trying to set another address as the default without first removing the existing default designation. In SRM, each type of address (like bill-from, ship-to, etc.) can only have one default address.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Default Address:
  
  Navigate to the address management section in your SRM system.
  Look for the current default bill-from address.
  
  
  
  Remove Default Status:
  
  If there is an existing default bill-from address, you need to remove its default status. This can usually be done by selecting the address and choosing an option to unset it as the default.
  
  
  
  Set New Default Address:
  
  After removing the default status from the existing address, you can now select the new address you want to mark as the default bill-from address and set it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  Ensure that you save your changes after updating the address settings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
