• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0A150 - Selection conditions for the program are not unique ?

  The SAP error message 0A150 ("Selection conditions for the program are not unique") typically occurs when there are multiple selection conditions defined for a report or program that conflict with each other, leading to ambiguity in the selection criteria. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using selection screens or when defining variants for reports.
  Cause:
  
  Ambiguous Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in the report or program are not unique, meaning that the system cannot determine which set of conditions to apply.
  Multiple Variants: If there are multiple variants defined for a report that have overlapping or conflicting selection conditions, this error can occur.
  Incorrectly Defined Selection Screen: The selection screen may have been defined in such a way that it allows for multiple interpretations of the input parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Conditions: Check the selection conditions defined in the report or program. Ensure that they are unique and do not overlap in a way that could cause ambiguity.
  Modify Variants: If you are using variants, review them to ensure that they do not conflict with each other. You may need to delete or modify some variants to resolve the conflict.
  Adjust Selection Screen: If you have access to the ABAP code, review the selection screen definition. Ensure that the parameters are clearly defined and do not allow for multiple interpretations.
  Test with Different Inputs: Sometimes, testing the report with different input values can help identify which specific conditions are causing the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific report or program to understand the expected selection criteria and ensure compliance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to check transaction codes related to the report or program you are working with to see if there are any specific settings or configurations that need to be adjusted.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to the specific report or program. There may be known issues or patches that address this error.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the program to see how the selection conditions are being processed and identify where the ambiguity arises.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP development team for further assistance.
