• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIJ_SP029 - Multiple selection on entry and Def.variant cannot be selected together! ?

  The SAP error message OIJ_SP029 ("Multiple selection on entry and Def.variant cannot be selected together") typically occurs in the context of using selection screens in SAP, particularly when working with reports or transactions that allow for multiple selection criteria.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to use both the "Multiple Selection" option and a "Default Variant" at the same time. In SAP, a default variant is a predefined set of selection criteria that can be applied to a report or transaction. However, when you select multiple entries for a field, the system cannot apply a default variant simultaneously because it creates a conflict in how the selection criteria are processed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Choose One Option: Decide whether you want to use the "Multiple Selection" feature or the "Default Variant." You cannot use both at the same time.
  
  If you want to use multiple selections, uncheck or deselect the default variant option.
  If you want to use the default variant, do not select multiple entries.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Selection: If you need to use multiple criteria, you may need to manually enter them without using the default variant.
  
  
  Check User Settings: Sometimes, user-specific settings or defaults may cause this issue. Ensure that your user profile settings do not enforce the use of a default variant when you intend to use multiple selections.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to proceed, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transaction codes that involve selection screens, such as reports in the Oil & Gas industry (given the context of OIJ).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this issue or provide additional context.
  User Training: If this error is common among users, consider providing training or documentation on how to properly use selection screens in SAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OIJ_SP029 error and proceed with your work in SAP.
