• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7718 - This document is already included in the selection list ?

  The SAP error message M7718, which states "This document is already included in the selection list," typically occurs during the processing of documents in inventory management or related modules. This error indicates that the system has detected that the document you are trying to include in a selection list (such as for a goods movement, transfer posting, or other inventory-related transactions) has already been selected or processed.
  Causes:
  
  Duplicate Selection: The document you are trying to process has already been included in the selection list, either in the current session or in a previous transaction.
  Transaction Logic: The logic of the transaction you are performing may inherently prevent the same document from being processed multiple times.
  User Error: The user may have inadvertently attempted to select the same document multiple times.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection List: Review the selection list to confirm whether the document is already included. If it is, you may need to remove it from the list or proceed with the existing selection.
  Clear and Re-enter: If you suspect that the selection list is not displaying correctly, try clearing the selection list and re-entering the documents you wish to process.
  Transaction Review: Ensure that you are following the correct steps for the transaction you are performing. Consult the relevant SAP documentation or user guides for the specific transaction.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are working in a team environment, check with colleagues to see if someone else has already processed the document.
  System Logs: If the issue persists, check system logs or consult with your SAP Basis or technical support team to investigate any underlying issues.
