• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >1503 - All other selections will be ignored in repetition run ?

  The SAP error message "1503 All other selections will be ignored in repetition run" typically occurs in the context of executing a report or transaction that has been set up to run in a repetitive manner, such as a background job or a scheduled report. This message indicates that certain selection criteria or parameters that you have specified will not be considered during the repetition of the run.
  Cause:
  
  Repetition Run Context: The error arises because, in a repetition run, SAP only considers the original selection criteria that were used when the job was first scheduled. Any additional selections or changes made in the subsequent runs are ignored.
  Job Configuration: The job may have been configured to run with specific parameters, and any changes made to those parameters after the job was scheduled will not take effect.
  Selection Screen: If you are trying to modify the selection screen parameters for a report that is set to run in a repetitive mode, those changes will not be applied.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Configuration: Review the configuration of the background job or report. Ensure that the selection criteria you want to use are correctly set in the original job definition.
  Modify Job Parameters: If you need to change the selection criteria, you may need to stop the current job and create a new job with the desired parameters.
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you are running a report interactively, ensure that you are not inadvertently triggering a repetition run. Use the appropriate transaction code to execute the report without repetition.
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific report or transaction to understand how it handles selection criteria during repetition runs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to job scheduling, such as SM37 (Job Monitoring) and SM36 (Define Background Job).
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to the specific report or transaction you are using, as they may provide additional insights or solutions for handling selection criteria.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify or create background jobs, as restrictions may lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully run your report or job with the desired selection criteria.
