• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO201 - Fixed value range [&,&] defines a single fixed value ?

  The SAP error message DO201 indicates that there is an issue with a fixed value range defined in a data element or domain. Specifically, it suggests that the fixed value range you are trying to define or use is incorrectly set up to allow only a single fixed value instead of a range.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Definition: The fixed value range is defined in such a way that it only allows one specific value instead of a range of values.
  Data Element or Domain Configuration: The data element or domain associated with the field may have been incorrectly configured, leading to this error.
  Inconsistent Data: If the data being processed does not conform to the expected fixed value range, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DO201 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Data Element/Domain:
  
  Go to the data element or domain definition in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Verify the fixed value range settings. Ensure that the range is defined correctly to allow multiple values if that is the intention.
  
  
  
  Adjust Fixed Value Range:
  
  If the fixed value range is meant to allow multiple values, adjust the settings to reflect this. You may need to define a range with a minimum and maximum value instead of a single value.
  
  
  
  Review Related Programs/Function Modules:
  
  If this error occurs during the execution of a program or function module, review the code to ensure that it is correctly handling the fixed value range.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the data being processed adheres to the defined fixed value range. If there are inconsistencies, correct the data accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with data element and domain definitions.
