• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EC385 - You did not select any objects ?

  The SAP error message EC385 ("You did not select any objects") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a function or transaction that requires the selection of one or more objects, but no objects have been selected. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with reports, mass changes, or other operations that involve multiple items.
  Causes:

  Make a Selection: Ensure that you select at least one object before executing the transaction or function. Check the selection criteria and make sure they are set correctly.
