  SAP Error Message: WY048
  Text: Partner & would be second default partner for partner function &
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a second default partner for the same partner function in a business transaction or master data. In SAP, for certain partner functions (like Sold-to party, Ship-to party, Payer, etc.), only one partner can be marked as the default partner. Attempting to assign a second default partner for the same partner function violates this rule, triggering the WY048 error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Partner Function: Defines the role of a business partner in a transaction (e.g., Sold-to party, Bill-to party, Ship-to party).
  Default Partner: The partner marked as default for a particular partner function, which SAP uses automatically in transactions.
  When you try to assign a second partner as default for the same partner function, SAP raises this error to prevent ambiguity.
