• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN_EVWB051 - Select only 1 row for user status ?

  The SAP error message CN_EVWB051 ("Select only 1 row for user status") typically occurs in the context of project management or work breakdown structure (WBS) elements in SAP. This error indicates that the system expects the user to select only one row (or entry) when trying to change the user status of a project or WBS element, but multiple rows have been selected instead.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user has selected multiple entries in a list or table when the system requires a single selection to apply a user status change. This can happen in various transactions related to project management, such as when using the transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ02 (Change Project).
  Solution:
  To resolve the CN_EVWB051 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Your Selection: Go back to the selection screen or the list where you are trying to change the user status. Ensure that you have selected only one row or entry.
  
  
  Deselect Other Rows: If you have inadvertently selected multiple rows, deselect all but one. You can usually do this by clicking on the row you want to keep selected while holding down the Ctrl key (or Command key on Mac) to deselect others.
  
  
  Reattempt the Action: After ensuring that only one row is selected, try to change the user status again.
  
  
  Check for Filters: If you are working with a filtered list, ensure that the filter settings are not causing confusion in your selection.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change the user status for the selected project or WBS element.
  
  
  Related Information:
