• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5AT134 - Excluded values must not be named as default values ?

  The SAP error message 5AT134 ("Excluded values must not be named as default values") typically occurs in the context of configuration settings, particularly when dealing with value assignments in a selection screen or a similar context where default values are defined.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to set a default value for a field that has been marked as "excluded" in the configuration. In SAP, excluded values are those that are not allowed or are filtered out from the selection options. If you try to assign a default value to such an excluded option, the system will throw this error because it contradicts the logic of having a default value for something that is not permissible.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Configuration: Check the configuration settings where the default values are defined. Ensure that the default value you are trying to set is not part of the excluded values.
  
  
  Modify Default Values: If the default value is indeed excluded, you will need to either:
  
  Change the default value to one that is allowed (not excluded).
  Remove the exclusion for that value if it is necessary to keep it as a default.
  
  
  
  Check Value Ranges: If you are working with value ranges or selection criteria, ensure that the ranges do not conflict with the default values you are trying to set.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
