• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEGUI808 - Objects selected must be of the same type ?

  The SAP error message PPEGUI808 ("Objects selected must be of the same type") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) or similar modules when you are trying to perform an operation that requires multiple objects to be of the same type, but the selected objects are not.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises in scenarios such as:
  
  Trying to perform a mass operation (like deletion, modification, or transfer) on a selection of objects (e.g., production orders, planned orders, etc.) where the selected objects are of different types (e.g., some are production orders while others are planned orders).

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selected Objects: Review the objects you have selected for the operation. Ensure that all selected objects are of the same type. For example, if you are trying to delete orders, make sure all selected orders are either production orders or planned orders, but not a mix of both.
  
  
  Refine Your Selection: If you have a mixed selection, refine your selection criteria to include only objects of the same type. You can do this by using filters or selection criteria available in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  Use Separate Operations: If you need to perform actions on different types of objects, consider executing separate operations for each type. For instance, handle production orders in one operation and planned orders in another.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the types of objects you are working with, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific transaction or module you are using.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: In some cases, the error might be related to user authorizations. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform actions on the selected object types.
