• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_PS_4S_BRFP161 - Only one attribute can be selected since result object is of type element ?

  The SAP error message CRM_PS_4S_BRFP161 indicates that there is an issue with the selection of attributes in a context where only one attribute can be selected. This typically occurs in scenarios involving Business Rules Framework (BRF+) or when working with specific data models in SAP CRM.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to select multiple attributes from a result object that is defined as an "element" type. In SAP, an "element" type is a singular data structure that can only hold one value at a time. Therefore, trying to select multiple attributes from it leads to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are only selecting one attribute from the result object that is of type element. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review the Configuration: Check the configuration of the Business Rules or the data model you are working with. Identify the result object and confirm its type.
  
  
  Modify Attribute Selection: If you are using a rule or a query that selects attributes, modify it to select only one attribute from the element type result object.
  
  
  Check Data Model: If you need to work with multiple attributes, consider whether you can change the data model to use a structure that allows for multiple attributes (like a table or a structure type) instead of an element.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
