• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH630 - Variable &1 must be unique. Selection options are not permitted ?

  The SAP error message KH630 ("Variable &1 must be unique. Selection options are not permitted") typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting, particularly when working with variables in queries or reports. This error indicates that there is a conflict with the way variables are defined or used in the selection criteria of a report or query.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Variables: The error usually arises when a variable is defined more than once in the selection criteria. In SAP, each variable must be unique within the context of the report or query.
  Incorrect Variable Type: The variable may be defined in a way that does not allow for multiple selections or ranges, which can lead to this error.
  Selection Options: The use of selection options (like ranges or multiple values) with a variable that does not support them can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Variable Definitions: Review the variables used in your report or query. Ensure that each variable is defined only once and that there are no duplicates.
  Modify Variable Properties: If a variable is intended to allow multiple selections, ensure that it is configured correctly to support this. You may need to adjust the variable settings in the query designer or report definition.
  Remove Selection Options: If the variable does not support selection options, remove any selection options associated with it. Instead, use single value selections if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the variable types and their allowed configurations.
