    Error Message
    WS856: Single copy of settlement docs from supplier settlement lists not allowed
    
    Cause
    This error occurs during the settlement of supplier invoices (e.g., in the context of supplier invoice verification or supplier settlement) when the system detects that you are trying to create or post a single copy of a settlement document from a supplier settlement list, but the system settings or business rules do not allow this.
    More specifically:
    
    The system expects that settlement documents created from supplier settlement lists should be processed in a certain way (e.g., multiple copies or batch processing).
    Attempting to create or post a single copy (individual document) from a supplier settlement list violates the configured business rules or system logic.
    This can happen if the settlement document is being created manually or outside the expected process flow.
