• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /VSO/R_MSG520 - You can only specify one PKM as the default PKM for vehicle type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /VSO/R_MSG520 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the default PKM (Product Knowledge Management) for a specific vehicle type in the system. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to assign more than one PKM as the default for a given vehicle type, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Default PKMs: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple PKMs marked as the default for the same vehicle type in the system.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings where the system is not correctly recognizing which PKM should be the default.
  Data Entry Error: During data entry or configuration, the user may have inadvertently set multiple PKMs as default.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing PKM Assignments:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the vehicle type in question.
  Review the list of PKMs assigned to that vehicle type and identify which ones are marked as default.
  
  
  
  Set a Single Default PKM:
  
  Ensure that only one PKM is marked as the default for the vehicle type. If there are multiple PKMs set as default, you will need to change the settings to ensure only one is designated as the default.
  You can do this by editing the PKM settings in the relevant configuration area (usually found in the customizing settings for vehicle management).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
