• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFV072 - Select only one production version to copy ?

  The SAP error message CFV072 ("Select only one production version to copy") typically occurs when you are trying to copy production versions in the SAP system, but the system has detected that multiple production versions are selected instead of just one. This can happen in various transactions related to production planning and control, such as when using transaction codes like C223 (Maintain Production Versions) or C220 (Copy Production Versions).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the selection of multiple production versions when the system expects only one to be selected for the copying process. This can happen if:

  The system is configured to require a single production version for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CFV072 error, follow these steps:

  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to SAP documentation or help files related to production version management for guidance on the correct procedure.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the copy operation. Sometimes, restrictions can lead to unexpected behavior.
