  The SAP error message EU306, which states "Enter the delimiter & at the end of the string," typically occurs in scenarios where a specific format is expected for input strings, particularly in the context of data entry or configuration settings. This error is often related to the use of delimiters in strings, which are characters that separate different elements within the string.

  Solution:
  To resolve the EU306 error, you should:
  
  Check the Input String: Review the string you are entering to ensure that it ends with the required delimiter. For example, if the expected delimiter is a semicolon (;), make sure your string ends with it.
  Correct Format: If you are entering multiple values, ensure that each value is properly separated by the delimiter and that the last value is also followed by the delimiter.
  Refer to Documentation: If you are unsure about the required format or delimiter, consult the relevant SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction or configuration you are working with.
