• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3L180 - Select only one employee to see employee details ?

  The SAP error message 3L180 ("Select only one employee to see employee details") typically occurs in the context of employee management or HR-related transactions within the SAP system. This error indicates that the user has attempted to access employee details while multiple employees are selected, which is not allowed for the specific transaction or report being executed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user has selected more than one employee in a list or selection screen when the system expects only a single employee to be selected for viewing detailed information. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Trying to view employee details in a report or transaction that is designed to show information for only one employee at a time.
  Using a selection screen where multiple employees are highlighted or checked.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Deselect Other Employees: Go back to the selection screen or list where you made your selection and ensure that only one employee is selected. You can do this by:
  
  Clicking on the specific employee you want to view.
  Unchecking or deselecting any other employees that may have been selected.
  
  
  
  Use Filters: If you are working with a large list of employees, consider using filters to narrow down your selection to a single employee before attempting to view details.
  
  
  Check Transaction Type: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code or report that allows for viewing employee details. Some transactions are specifically designed for single employee access.
  
  
  Refresh the Screen: If you have made changes to your selection, refresh the screen or re-enter the transaction to ensure that the system recognizes your updated selection.
  
  
  Related Information:
