• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FS612 - Maximum of one selection possible ?

  The SAP error message FS612 "Maximum of one selection possible" typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or reports where the system expects only one selection criterion to be applied, but multiple selections have been made. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the user attempts to select multiple options in a field that only allows a single selection. For example, if you are trying to filter a report by both a specific company code and a specific fiscal year, the system may only allow one of those criteria to be selected at a time.
  Solution:
  To resolve the FS612 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Go back to the selection screen where the error occurred. Check the fields where you have made selections and ensure that you are only selecting one option in the fields that are restricted to a single selection.
  
  
  Adjust Your Selections: If you have multiple selections in a field that only allows one, remove the additional selections. For example, if you have selected multiple company codes, choose only one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure which fields are restricted, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or report you are using. This can provide guidance on the expected input.
  
  
  Test with Different Criteria: If you need to analyze data with multiple criteria, consider running separate reports or transactions for each selection instead of trying to combine them.
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Customizations: If the error persists and you believe your selections are correct, check if there are any user exits or customizations in your SAP environment that might be enforcing this restriction.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error can occur in various transaction codes, such as FB50 (Enter G/L Account Document), FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display), or others in the FI module.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the limitations of selection criteria in SAP to prevent this error from occurring frequently.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide more specific guidance based on your system configuration.
