Error Log - Too many payment mediums created for this payment group

Question

Hi Experts,
When I am doing payment to customers through T-code F110, I am able to clear the open item. But when we are executing the Payment medium - DME Administration, generate the Payment Advice and when we see the print preview of the Payment Advice in spool request, System is showing the following errors,
"BFIBL02160               Too many payment mediums created for this payment group"
"BFIBL02616               End of log for payment run 20120123 / NAA02 , NSD / 200"
"This is line 1/column 45 on page 1"
Message no. SP01R116
Kindly help how to rectify the same
Thanks in advance

Hi Nimish Agarwal,
With reference to the error faced i.e. BFIBL02160 "too many payment
mediums created for this payment group", please review the information
provided in the long text of this error in detail.
Please ensure that the orders are not carried out several times.
Alternatively you can apply the optional usable message 166 (same
class: BFIBL02), so that you can prevent creating duplicates in future.
Please customize this message as an error so as to prevent the system
from creating duplicate files. You can customize this message in OBA5.
The message BFIBL02 160 always occurs, if you create more than one
file for the same payment run, in order to warn you not to send the
same file twice to the bank.
The SAPFPAYM program does not create 2 files at once. But if you
run this program more than once for the same payment run, more than
one file is created. From the second run on you receive the error
message BFIBL02 160. You can easily test it, by creating a new
payment proposal and creating a new file with this proposal and
SAPFPAYM. The first time you run this program you will not receive
the message.
Hope this clarifies.
