  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSAM_SHMAE022 Preassign Only 1 Related Plants Grouping
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system detects that more than one plant grouping is assigned or preassigned in a scenario where only one related plant grouping is allowed. Typically, this happens during the configuration or master data maintenance of plant groupings in modules like SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM), Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), or in integration scenarios involving plant assignments.
  In other words, the system expects a single, unique plant grouping assignment for a particular process or object, but multiple groupings have been assigned, which violates the business or system rule.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the assignment of plants to plant groupings.
  While configuring or maintaining master data related to plant groupings.
  In integration scenarios where plant groupings are used to determine planning or distribution logic.
  When preassigning plants to groupings in planning or supply chain processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Plant Grouping Assignments:
  
  Review the plant grouping assignments for the relevant plants.
  Ensure that each plant is assigned to only one related plant grouping as required by the process.
  
  
  
  Correct the Master Data:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing or master data transaction (e.g., in SAP SCM or APO).
  Remove or correct any multiple plant grouping assignments so that only one grouping is assigned per plant or per relevant object.
  
  
  
  Validate Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration settings related to plant groupings.
  Ensure that the system settings or business rules enforce the single grouping assignment.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during integration (e.g., between ECC and APO), verify the consistency of plant grouping data across systems.
  Synchronize master data if necessary.
