  The SAP error message KA780 ("Select only one object") typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single object selection, but multiple objects have been selected instead. This can happen in various transactions, such as when trying to execute reports, create allocations, or perform other activities that require a specific focus on one object.
