• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8B344 - Select one entry only ?

  The SAP error message 8B344: "Select one entry only" typically occurs in the context of certain transactions or reports where the system expects the user to select a single entry from a list or table, but multiple entries have been selected instead. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to process a document, execute a report, or perform an action that requires a single selection.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The most common cause is that the user has inadvertently selected more than one item from a list or table when the system only allows for a single selection.
  User Interface Design: Some screens are designed to only allow single selections for specific operations, and selecting multiple entries violates this design.
  Incorrect User Action: Users may not be aware that they need to select only one entry, leading to confusion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Your Selection: Go back to the selection screen or list and ensure that only one entry is selected. Deselect any additional entries.
  Use Filters: If the list is long, consider using filters to narrow down the options and make it easier to select the desired single entry.
  Check Documentation: Refer to the transaction documentation or help files to understand the expected behavior and selection criteria.
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing training or guidance to users on how to properly make selections in the system.
