• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 56555 - Enter either a group or single value(s) ?

  The SAP error message 56555, which states "Enter either a group or single value(s)," typically occurs in scenarios where the system expects a specific input format, particularly when dealing with selection criteria in reports or transactions. This error often arises in the context of selection screens where users are required to specify either a group of values or individual values, but not both.
  Cause:
  
  Input Format: The user may have entered values in a way that does not conform to the expected input format. For example, if the system expects a single value or a group of values but receives a mix of both, it will trigger this error.
  Selection Criteria: The selection screen may have fields that are mutually exclusive, meaning you can only fill out one type of input (either a group or individual values).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the selection screen or the underlying data model that leads to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Input: Check the input fields on the selection screen. Ensure that you are either entering a single value or a group of values, but not both. For example, if you are using a range of values, make sure to use the appropriate selection options.
  Clear Unused Fields: If you have filled in both a group and individual values, clear the fields that are not needed. For instance, if you are using a group, make sure to leave the individual value fields blank.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation or help text associated with the transaction or report you are using to understand the expected input format.
  Check Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, verify that the selection screen is set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  
  Related Information:

  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly use selection screens and understand the difference between group and individual value inputs.
