• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_SRQM_COMMON003 - Only one type of reference object may be used in the search criteria ?

  The SAP error message CRM_SRQM_COMMON003 indicates that there is an issue with the search criteria used in a search function within the SAP CRM system. Specifically, it means that the search criteria you are using includes more than one type of reference object, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to search for records using multiple reference object types in the same search query. For example, if you are trying to search for both business partners and sales orders in a single search, the system will throw this error because it expects only one type of reference object in the search criteria.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should modify your search criteria to ensure that you are only using one type of reference object at a time. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Search Criteria: Check the search criteria you are using and identify the reference objects included in the search.
  
  
  Separate Searches: If you need to search for different types of reference objects, perform separate searches for each type instead of combining them in a single query.
  
  
  Adjust Filters: If you are using filters or parameters in your search, ensure that they are aligned with a single reference object type.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or function you are using to understand the expected search criteria.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments to your search criteria, test the search again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
