• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KG374 - Enter a single value or an asterisk (*) in the field & ?

  The SAP error message KG374 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost center accounting or internal orders. This error indicates that the system expects a single value or an asterisk (*) in a specific field, but the input provided does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  The error message KG374 is triggered when:
  
  The user inputs multiple values in a field that only accepts a single value or an asterisk (*).
  The field is expecting a specific format or type of input, and the provided input does not conform to that expectation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KG374 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Field: Review the field where the error occurred. Ensure that you are entering either a single value (e.g., a specific cost center or internal order) or an asterisk (*) to represent all values.
  
  
  Use Asterisk for All Values: If you want to include all possible values in your selection, use an asterisk (*). This is a wildcard character in SAP that represents all entries.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: If you are using a selection screen or report, ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting multiple values in a field that only allows one. Adjust your selection criteria accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected input for a specific field, refer to the SAP documentation or help text associated with that field for guidance.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: In some cases, the error may be related to user authorizations. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the data you are trying to retrieve.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after checking the input and selection criteria, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with a functional consultant who specializes in the CO module.
