  Error Message
  W_DSD_01054 &1 main supplier relationships selected
  
  Cause
  This warning message typically occurs in the context of SAP Demand Supply Distribution (DSD) or Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) processes when the system detects that more than one main supplier relationship has been selected or assigned for a particular material or product.
  In SAP, a main supplier relationship is usually unique per material or product for a given purchasing organization or plant. Selecting multiple main suppliers for the same item can cause conflicts in procurement or distribution processes, as the system expects a single main supplier to streamline ordering, delivery, and planning.
  
  Explanation
  
  The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the number of main supplier relationships selected.
  The warning indicates that the user or process has selected multiple main suppliers, which is not allowed or recommended.
  This can happen during master data maintenance, supplier assignment, or during the creation of purchase info records or source lists.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Supplier Assignments:
  
  Review the supplier relationships assigned to the material/product.
  Ensure that only one supplier is marked as the main supplier for the relevant plant or purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Adjust Supplier Roles:
  
  If multiple suppliers are assigned, decide which one should be the main supplier.
  Change the others to secondary or alternative suppliers if applicable.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  Use transaction codes such as:
  
  ME01 (Maintain Source List)
  ME11 (Create Purchase Info Record)
  ME12 (Change Purchase Info Record)
  Or relevant DSD/SRM transactions to correct supplier assignments.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Business Rules:
  
  Verify with procurement or supply chain management teams about supplier assignment policies.
  Ensure compliance with organizational rules regarding supplier relationships.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After correcting the supplier assignments, re-execute the process that triggered the warning.
