• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC031 - Choose only one field selection list ?

  The SAP error message AC031 ("Choose only one field selection list") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report that requires a selection of fields, but multiple field selection lists have been chosen instead of just one.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the user selecting more than one field selection list in a transaction or report that only allows for a single selection. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when generating asset reports or executing asset-related transactions where the system expects a single criterion for filtering or selection.
  Solution:
  To resolve the AC031 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Your Selections: Go back to the selection screen of the transaction or report you are trying to execute. Check the field selection lists you have chosen.
  
  
  Select Only One List: Ensure that you only select one field selection list. If you have multiple lists selected, deselect the additional ones so that only one remains active.
  
  
  Re-execute the Transaction: After making the necessary adjustments to your selections, try executing the transaction or report again.
