• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3T006 - Limit your entries to one infotype ?

  The SAP error message 3T006 ("Limit your entries to one infotype") typically occurs when a user attempts to enter or modify data in a way that involves multiple infotypes in a single action, which is not allowed in certain transactions or screens in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error is usually triggered in the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Infotypes Selected: The user is trying to process or display data for more than one infotype at the same time. For example, if you are using a transaction that is designed to handle a specific infotype (like infotype 0001 for Organizational Assignment), and you inadvertently try to include data from another infotype (like infotype 0002 for Personal Data).
  Incorrect Transaction Usage: Using a transaction code that is not intended for the infotype you are trying to access.
  Data Entry Errors: Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect data entry or selection in the screen fields.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the 3T006 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype Selection: Ensure that you are only working with one infotype at a time. If you need to enter or modify data for multiple infotypes, do so in separate transactions or screens.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code for the infotype you are trying to access. For example, if you are working with employee data, use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PA40 (Personnel Actions) correctly.
  
  
  Review Data Entry: Double-check the fields you are filling out to ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting or entering data for multiple infotypes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about which infotype to use or how to proceed, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR module expert.
  
  
  System Configuration: In some cases, the error may be related to system configuration. If you suspect this is the case, contact your SAP Basis or HR module administrator for assistance.
