  The SAP error message V2454 indicates that there is an issue with the use of Incoterms in your sales document. Specifically, it states that you should not enter an Incoterm location 2 when using a specific Incoterm and version. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Incoterm Usage: The error typically arises when the selected Incoterm (denoted as &1) does not support the use of a second location (Incoterm location 2). This is often the case with certain Incoterms that are designed to be used with only one location.
  Version Mismatch: The version of the Incoterm (denoted as &2) may also be a factor. Some versions of Incoterms may have different rules regarding the use of location fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Incoterm Configuration: Check the configuration of the Incoterm in your SAP system. Ensure that the Incoterm you are using is appropriate for your transaction and that it supports the use of location 2.
  Remove Location 2: If the Incoterm does not allow for a second location, you should remove the entry for Incoterm location 2 in your sales document. This can typically be done in the sales order or delivery document where the Incoterms are specified.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official Incoterms documentation to understand the specific requirements and limitations of the Incoterm you are using.
  Update Incoterm: If necessary, consider using a different Incoterm that allows for the use of location 2 if your business process requires it.
  
  Related Information:
