PV487 - Details

• The SAP error message PV487 ("Select one object only") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single object selection, but multiple objects have been selected instead. This can happen in various SAP transactions or reports where the system expects only one item to be processed at a time.

  User Error: The user may have inadvertently selected multiple items instead of just one.
  System Configuration: Certain transactions or reports may be configured to only allow single object processing.
  Interface Issues: If the error occurs in a custom program or interface, it may be due to incorrect logic in the code that does not handle multiple selections properly.
