• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRSEN00482 - Selection class &1 is declared as a collective selection class ?

  The SAP error message HRSEN00482 indicates that a selection class you are trying to use is declared as a collective selection class. This typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) or SAP SuccessFactors when dealing with selection criteria for personnel actions, reports, or evaluations.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to use a selection class that is defined as a collective selection class, which means it is intended to group multiple selection criteria together rather than being used individually.
  The system expects a specific type of selection class that can be used in the context you are working in, but the one you selected does not meet those criteria.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Selection Class: Verify the selection class you are using. Ensure that it is appropriate for the context in which you are trying to use it. You may need to switch to a different selection class that is not a collective selection class.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the definition of the selection class in the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO). Ensure that the selection class is set up correctly and is intended for the use case you are working on.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific selection class you are using. This can provide insights into its intended use and any limitations.
