  The SAP error message MC753 ("Field &-&: Selection condition on field is not allowed") typically occurs in the context of reporting or data selection in SAP, particularly when working with the Material Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD) modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria defined for a specific field in a report or query.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:

  Field Characteristics: Some fields may have specific characteristics that restrict their use in selection conditions. For example, certain fields may only be used in specific contexts or may require certain conditions to be met.
  
  
  Custom Development: If there are custom reports or queries developed in your SAP system, there may be issues with how the selection criteria are defined, leading to this error.
