  The SAP error message W014 indicates that there is an issue with the dunning process when trying to process multiple company codes that are associated with collection grouping. This error typically arises when you attempt to run the dunning program for multiple company codes that are linked to a collection group, which is not allowed in a single run.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the dunning program in SAP does not support processing multiple company codes that share a collection grouping in a single execution.

  Identify Company Codes: Determine which company codes are involved in the dunning run and are part of the collection grouping.
  
  
  Run Dunning Program Separately:
  
  Go to the dunning program transaction (usually F150).
  Select one company code at a time and execute the dunning run.
  Repeat this process for each company code that needs to be dunned.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you frequently encounter this issue, you may want to review the configuration of your dunning process and collection groups to ensure they align with your business requirements.
  
  
  Review Dunning Settings: Ensure that the dunning settings for each company code are correctly configured and that they do not conflict with each other.
