• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1X210 - Only ranges sign = 'I' is allowed for this application ?

  The SAP error message 1X210 ("Only ranges sign = 'I' is allowed for this application") typically occurs when you are trying to use a selection range in a report or transaction that only accepts inclusion ranges (i.e., ranges where the sign is 'I' for "Include"). This error indicates that the system has detected a range with a sign that is not allowed for the specific application you are using.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the use of a selection range that includes a sign other than 'I' (Include). In SAP, selection ranges can have different signs:
  
  I: Include (the values specified in the range will be included in the selection)
  E: Exclude (the values specified in the range will be excluded from the selection)
  
  For certain applications or reports, only the 'I' sign is permitted, and using 'E' or any other sign will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should check the selection criteria you are using in the report or transaction. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Go to the selection screen of the report or transaction where the error occurred.
  Check Ranges: Look for any selection ranges that have the sign set to 'E' (Exclude) or any other sign.
  Change Sign to 'I': Change the sign of the problematic range(s) to 'I' (Include).
  Re-run the Report/Transaction: After making the necessary changes, try running the report or transaction again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific report or transaction you are using to understand the expected input and any restrictions on selection ranges.
  SAP Notes: If the issue persists or if you believe it is a bug, you can search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that might address this specific error.
  Testing: If you are developing or customizing reports, ensure that the logic for handling selection ranges adheres to the requirements of the application.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute the report or transaction.
