• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 53047 - This is the first of the selected records ?

  The SAP error message 53047, which states "This is the first of the selected records," typically occurs in the context of data processing or reporting within SAP systems. This message is often related to the selection of records in a report or transaction where the system is indicating that the current record being processed is the first one in the selection set.
  Cause:
  
  Record Selection: The error usually arises when a user attempts to navigate through a set of records, but the system is indicating that the current record is the first one in the list. This can happen if the user tries to perform an action (like "Previous" or "Back") when there are no prior records to navigate to.
  Data Processing Logic: It may also occur due to the logic in the program or report that is designed to handle record navigation, where it does not account for the scenario of being at the first record.
  
  Solution:
  
  Navigation: If you encounter this message while navigating through records, ensure that you are not trying to go to a previous record when you are already at the first one. You can only move forward or perform actions that are valid for the first record.
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you used to generate the report or data set. Ensure that the criteria are set correctly to retrieve the desired records.
  Program Logic: If you are a developer or have access to the program code, check the logic that handles record navigation. Ensure that it properly accounts for the first record and does not allow navigation to a non-existent previous record.
  User Training: If this error is common among users, consider providing training or documentation on how to navigate records properly within the specific SAP transaction or report.
  
  Related Information:
