The SAP error message
/FLDQ/AD_ADDR_ERRORS104 Lastline matches are too similar to choose one
typically occurs in the context of address validation or data quality checks within the SAP system, particularly when using the Address Data Quality (ADQ) functionality. This error indicates that the system has encountered multiple address suggestions that are too similar to each other, making it difficult for the system to determine which one to select.Cause:
- Similar Address Entries: The error is triggered when the address data being validated has multiple potential matches that are very similar, leading to ambiguity.
- Data Quality Issues: Poorly formatted or incomplete address data can lead to multiple similar matches.
- Configuration Issues: The settings for address validation may not be optimized, leading to excessive similarity in the suggestions.
Solution:
- Manual Selection: If the system cannot automatically choose an address, you may need to manually review the suggested addresses and select the most appropriate one.
- Data Cleansing: Review and clean the address data to ensure that it is complete and correctly formatted. This may involve standardizing address formats or correcting any inaccuracies.
- Adjust Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings for the address validation process, consider adjusting the parameters to reduce the likelihood of similar matches. This may involve tweaking the algorithms or thresholds used for matching.
- Update Address Data: Ensure that the address database used for validation is up-to-date and comprehensive, which can help improve the accuracy of matches.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on addressing this error in your version of SAP.

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.
