• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUDIALOG215 - only one handling unit can be selected for output preview ?

  The SAP error message HUDIALOG215, which states "Only one handling unit can be selected for output preview," typically occurs when you are trying to preview the output for handling units (HUs) in the SAP system, but the system has detected that multiple handling units are selected instead of just one.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selection: The most common cause of this error is that the user has selected more than one handling unit for output preview. The output preview function is designed to work with a single handling unit at a time.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that restrict the output preview to a single handling unit.
  User Error: The user may inadvertently select multiple handling units due to a misunderstanding of the selection process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Handling Unit: Ensure that you only select one handling unit for the output preview. You can do this by:
  
  Deselecting any additional handling units that are selected.
  Using the selection criteria to filter down to a single handling unit.
  
  
  Check for User Interface Issues: Sometimes, the user interface may not clearly indicate which handling unit is selected. Make sure to review the selection list carefully.
  Review Output Settings: If you are consistently facing this issue, check the output settings or configurations in the system to ensure they are set up correctly for handling units.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on handling unit output previews.
