  The SAP error message PT_TMW_FLD_SEL_CUST005 indicates that there are multiple object IDs associated with the same screen ID in the context of the SAP Time Management module. This typically occurs when there are inconsistencies or duplications in the configuration of the screen fields or the underlying data model.
