• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CMGL_APPL206 - Select only one type of application document for event assignment ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CMGL_APPL206 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of application documents to an event in the context of the SAP General Ledger (G/L) or related financial processes. This error typically arises when multiple types of application documents are selected for a single event assignment, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is configured to allow only one type of application document to be assigned to a specific event. If the user attempts to assign multiple document types (e.g., invoices, credit memos, etc.) to the same event, the system will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Event Assignment: Check the event assignment configuration in the system. Ensure that only one type of application document is selected for the event in question.
  
  
  Adjust Document Types: If you need to assign a different document type, remove the existing document type assignment and then add the new one. Make sure that only one document type is active for that event.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to the configuration settings, navigate to the relevant configuration area (usually under Financial Accounting or General Ledger) and verify the settings for event assignments and document types.
  
  
  Check User Input: Ensure that the user input during the transaction is correct. Sometimes, users may inadvertently select multiple document types due to interface design or misunderstanding.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the event assignment again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in troubleshooting, such as OBY6 for event assignment configuration.
