• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EBR082 - Select only one node to display the print preview ?

  The SAP error message EBR082 ("Select only one node to display the print preview") typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user attempts to generate a print preview for a report or document but has selected multiple nodes or entries in a hierarchical structure (like a tree view) instead of just one.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the print preview function is designed to work with a single selected item. When multiple nodes are selected, the system cannot determine which specific item to generate the preview for, leading to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Deselect Multiple Nodes: Ensure that you only have one node selected in the hierarchy. You can do this by clicking on a single node or entry that you wish to preview.
  
  
  Check Selection Method: If you are using a keyboard shortcut or a mouse action that selects multiple items (like dragging or using Ctrl/Shift), make sure to select only one item.
  
  
  Refresh the View: Sometimes, refreshing the view or navigating away and back can help reset any unintended selections.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about which node to select, refer to the documentation or help resources related to the specific report or transaction you are working with.
  
  
  User Training: If this is a recurring issue for multiple users, consider providing training or guidance on how to properly select nodes for print previews.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Support Portal for any specific notes related to this error message, as there may be updates or patches that address related issues.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the print preview functionality.
  System Version: Be aware that the behavior might vary slightly depending on the version of SAP you are using, so always refer to the version-specific documentation.
