• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS053 - Limit the selection to one material ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS053 typically indicates that a selection made in a transaction or report is returning multiple materials when only one material is expected. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with material master data, production planning, or other modules where material selection is critical.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the system detecting that the selection criteria provided by the user have resulted in multiple materials being selected, which is not allowed for the operation being performed. This can happen due to:
  
  Broad Selection Criteria: The filters or selection criteria applied are too broad, leading to multiple materials being included in the selection.
  Missing Specificity: The user may not have specified enough details to narrow down the selection to a single material.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data in the material master that cause unexpected results.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Review and refine the selection criteria to ensure that they are specific enough to return only one material. This may involve:
  
  Adding more filters (e.g., plant, storage location, material type).
  Using specific material numbers instead of ranges or wildcards.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is accurate and complete. Look for any duplicates or inconsistencies that might be causing the selection to return multiple materials.
  
  
  Use Material Number: If you have a specific material number in mind, enter it directly instead of using broader selection criteria.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or report you are using to understand the expected input and constraints.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
