• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB763 - Selection criterion "&1" contains multiple selection lines ?

  The SAP error message DB763, which states "Selection criterion '&1' contains multiple selection lines," typically occurs when a selection criterion in a database query or report is defined with multiple entries that are not allowed for that specific field. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using transaction codes that involve selection screens or when creating reports.

  Multiple Entries: The selection criterion specified has multiple entries for a field that only allows a single entry. For example, if you are trying to filter data based on a specific field (like a customer number or material number) and you have inadvertently entered multiple values for that field.

  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Go back to the selection screen and check the field that is causing the error. Ensure that you are only entering a single value or that you are using the correct selection options (like ranges or specific operators).
  Use Ranges or Specific Operators: If you need to select multiple values, consider using ranges (e.g., from X to Y) or using the "Multiple Selection" option if available for that field.
  Clear Unnecessary Entries: If there are any unnecessary or duplicate entries in the selection criteria, remove them to ensure that only one valid entry remains.
  Check for Custom Code: If this error occurs in a custom report or program, review the code to ensure that it is correctly handling selection criteria and not inadvertently allowing multiple entries for a single field.
