• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KEBAPI265 - Selection criterion for &1 deleted because &1 is a global parameter ?

  The SAP error message KEBAPI265 indicates that a selection criterion for a specific parameter (denoted as &1) has been deleted because it is a global parameter. This typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when working with reports or transactions that involve selection screens.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to modify or delete a selection criterion for a global parameter in a report or transaction. Global parameters are predefined settings that apply across various reports and transactions, and they cannot be altered in the same way as local parameters. This restriction is in place to maintain data integrity and consistency across the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you are trying to modify. Ensure that you are not attempting to change a global parameter. If you need to filter data based on a global parameter, you should use it as it is defined.
  
  
  Use Local Parameters: If you need to customize the selection criteria for a specific report or transaction, consider using local parameters instead of global ones. Local parameters can be modified without restrictions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific report or transaction you are working with. This can provide insights into how to properly use selection criteria.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe that the error is occurring inappropriately or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Global vs. Local Parameters: Understanding the difference between global and local parameters is crucial. Global parameters are set at a higher level and affect multiple reports, while local parameters are specific to a single report or transaction.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to the CO module, such as KSB1 (Actual Line Items), KOB1 (Order Line Items), etc., to better understand where this error might occur.
  
  By following these steps and understanding the context of the error, you should be able to address the issue effectively.
