GR540 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GR - Report Writer

• Message number: 540

• Message text: Field &, selection set & does not specific a single value

What causes this issue?

No representative value has been entered for the selection set. The data
will be assigned the initial value in the corresponding characteristic
in SAP-EIS. As a result, data records with the same key will be
transferred to SAP-EIS.
This can only lead to usable data in SAP-EIS if the values of data
records with the same key are added together when you import the data
into SAP-EIS.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you need to maintain the representative value in the set,
and whether the transfer rule has been maintained correctly.
