  Cause:
  
  Multiple Distribution Chains: The error is triggered when the system detects that you are attempting to access or display data for more than one distribution chain at the same time.

  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Distribution Chain: Ensure that you are only selecting one distribution chain when executing the transaction or report. You may need to go back to the selection screen and specify only one distribution chain.
  Check Input Parameters: Review the input parameters you are using in the transaction. Make sure that you are not inadvertently including multiple distribution chains in your selection criteria.
  Use Different Transactions: If you need to analyze data across multiple distribution chains, consider using different transactions or reports that allow for such analysis, or run the report multiple times for each distribution chain individually.
  
  Related Information:
