• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_EXT_POST008 - More than one account assignment in Purchasing Order &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_EXT_POST008 More than one account assignment in Purchasing Order &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a Purchasing Order (PO) contains more than one account assignment category or multiple account assignment objects that are not allowed simultaneously. In SAP, a PO line item can only have one account assignment category (e.g., cost center, asset, sales order, project, etc.). If the system detects multiple conflicting account assignments for the same PO line item, it triggers this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The PO line item has been assigned to more than one account assignment object (e.g., both a cost center and an internal order).
  The account assignment category is inconsistent or incorrectly maintained.
  Custom enhancements or user exits that incorrectly add multiple account assignments.
  Data inconsistencies during PO creation or change.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Account Assignment Category:
  
  Go to the PO line item and verify the account assignment category (field KNTTP).
  Ensure only one account assignment category is assigned per PO line item.
  
  
  
  Review Account Assignment Data:
  
  Check the account assignment fields such as Cost Center (KOSTL), Internal Order (AUFNR), Asset Number (ANLN1), Sales Order (AUFNR), etc.
  Make sure only the relevant account assignment object is filled according to the account assignment category.
  
  
  
  Correct the PO:
  
  Remove or correct any additional or conflicting account assignment data.
  If multiple account assignments are required, split the PO line items accordingly, each with a single account assignment.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs during posting or custom processing, review any user exits, BAdIs, or enhancements that might be adding multiple account assignments.
  Correct the logic to ensure only one account assignment per PO line item.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the PO:
  
  If the PO is incorrect and cannot be corrected, consider deleting and recreating the PO line item with the correct account assignment.
