• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BC194 - Select one day only when moving an appointment ?

  The SAP error message BC194, which states "Select one day only when moving an appointment," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Calendar or SAP Business Workplace when a user attempts to move an appointment that spans multiple days. This error indicates that the system requires the appointment to be confined to a single day for the move operation to be valid.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the appointment you are trying to move is scheduled over multiple days (e.g., from one day to another), and the system does not allow moving multi-day appointments in a single operation. The system expects you to select a single day for the appointment to be moved.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Select a Single Day: When moving the appointment, ensure that you are selecting only one day. If the appointment is multi-day, you may need to break it down into separate appointments for each day.
  
  
  Edit the Appointment: If you need to change the date of a multi-day appointment, consider editing the appointment instead of moving it. You can adjust the start and end dates to fit within a single day.
  
  
  Check Appointment Duration: If the appointment is meant to be a single-day event, verify that the start and end times are set correctly to reflect that.
  
  
  Use the Correct Functionality: Ensure you are using the appropriate functionality in SAP for moving appointments. Sometimes, using drag-and-drop may not work as expected for multi-day appointments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to handle appointments in SAP, refer to the SAP Help documentation or user guides specific to your version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
