• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_ADMIN_TOOL034 - Hotkey &1 is assigned to multiple actions; assignment not possible ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_ADMIN_TOOL034 indicates that a hotkey (shortcut key) is assigned to multiple actions within the SAP system, which leads to a conflict. This situation arises when the same hotkey is configured for different functions or actions, making it impossible for the system to determine which action to execute when the hotkey is pressed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Hotkey Assignments: The primary cause of this error is that the same hotkey has been assigned to more than one action in the configuration settings of the SAP application.
  Configuration Errors: This can occur due to manual errors during the configuration of the application or when importing/exporting configurations between systems.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that each hotkey is uniquely assigned to a single action. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify Conflicting Hotkeys:
  
  Go to the configuration settings where hotkeys are defined (this could be in the FDT or other relevant configuration areas).
  Look for the hotkey that is causing the conflict (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  
  Review Assignments:
  
  Check all actions that are currently assigned to the conflicting hotkey.
  Identify which actions are using the same hotkey.
  
  
  
  Modify Assignments:
  
  Change the hotkey assignment for one or more of the actions to ensure that each hotkey is unique.
  You can either remove the hotkey from one of the actions or assign a different hotkey to it.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the changes, test the application to ensure that the hotkeys now work as expected without conflicts.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made to the hotkey assignments for future reference and to avoid similar issues.
