• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP205 - Selected records cannot be processed in one step ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP205 Selected records cannot be processed in one step typically occurs in the context of the SAP Flexible Data Import (FDI) framework, particularly when dealing with mass data processing or batch operations. This error indicates that the system cannot process the selected records in a single operation due to various reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The records selected for processing may have inconsistencies or errors that prevent them from being processed together.
