  The SAP error message 5H002, which states "Please specify either all or none of the fields," typically occurs in scenarios where a user is trying to enter data into a transaction or a screen that requires a complete set of fields to be filled out or left blank. This error is often seen in various SAP modules, particularly in areas like Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you should:
  
  Review the Fields: Check the fields on the screen where the error occurred. Ensure that if you are entering data into one field, you must fill in all related fields as required by the transaction.
  Clear All Fields: If you do not have complete information, you can clear all fields and start over, ensuring that you either fill in all necessary fields or leave them all blank.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific transaction documentation or help files to understand which fields are mandatory and how they relate to each other.
  Check Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if there are any custom validations or settings that might be causing this error.
