The SAP error message
/BCV/QRM401 Query &1: More than one join is defined
typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create or execute a query that involves multiple joins between tables or data sources, but the system is unable to resolve the joins correctly.Cause:
- Multiple Joins: The error indicates that there are multiple joins defined in the query, which can lead to ambiguity in how the data should be retrieved.
- Incorrect Join Conditions: The join conditions may not be properly defined, leading to confusion in the query execution.
- Data Model Issues: The underlying data model may not support the type of joins being attempted, or there may be inconsistencies in the data sources.
Solution:
- Review Joins: Check the query definition and review the joins that have been defined. Ensure that each join is necessary and that they are correctly defined.
- Simplify the Query: If possible, simplify the query by reducing the number of joins. Consider whether all the joins are required for the data you need.
- Check Join Conditions: Ensure that the join conditions are correctly specified and that they uniquely identify the relationships between the tables.
- Use a Single Join: If the query can be restructured to use a single join instead of multiple joins, that may resolve the issue.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define joins in queries.
- Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the query with a smaller dataset to see if the issue persists, which can help isolate the problem.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
