  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBUIOD051 Only one node must be selected typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP Gateway applications when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single selection from a list of nodes (or items) but has selected multiple nodes instead.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The most common cause of this error is that the user has selected more than one item in a list or table where only a single selection is allowed. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to edit, delete, or view details of a specific item.
  UI Configuration: The configuration of the UI5 application may restrict certain actions to single selections only, leading to this error when the user attempts to select multiple items.

  Single Selection: Ensure that you only select one node (or item) in the list or table when performing the action that triggered the error. Deselect any additional items before proceeding.
  Check UI Behavior: If you are developing or configuring the application, review the UI5 application settings to ensure that the selection mode is set correctly. If the application is designed to allow multiple selections, ensure that the corresponding logic is implemented to handle such cases.
