• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C4006 - & only allows you to enter one value ?

  The SAP error message C4006 typically indicates that there is an issue with the input values in a particular field or selection screen. This error often arises when the system expects a single value but receives multiple values or when the input does not meet the expected criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Single Value Requirement: The field or parameter you are trying to enter data into is designed to accept only one value, but you may be attempting to enter multiple values or a range.
  Incorrect Input Format: The format of the input may not match the expected format, leading to the error.
  Field Configuration: The field may be configured in such a way that it restricts input to a single value due to business logic or validation rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input: Ensure that you are entering only one value in the field that is causing the error. If you need to select multiple values, look for an alternative field or option that allows for multiple entries.
  Review Field Requirements: Check the documentation or field help to understand the expected input format and constraints.
  Use Selection Options: If you are trying to filter or select multiple items, consider using selection options or ranges if available, but ensure that the specific field you are working with allows for such input.
