• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QP585 - CH &2: There is more than one selected set for catalog &1 ?

  The SAP error message QP585 indicates that there is an issue with the selected sets for a catalog in the Quality Management (QM) module. Specifically, it means that there is more than one selected set associated with the catalog you are trying to work with, which is causing a conflict.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to access or process a catalog (identified by &1) that has multiple selected sets (identified by &2) associated with it.
  The system expects only one selected set to be active or available for the catalog, but it finds more than one, leading to ambiguity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selected Sets:
  
  Go to the transaction code for managing catalogs (e.g., QS21 for creating or changing catalogs).
  Look for the catalog identified by &1 and check the associated selected sets.
  Identify the multiple selected sets that are linked to the catalog.
  
  
  
  Remove or Consolidate Selected Sets:
  
  If you find that there are indeed multiple selected sets, you will need to either remove the unnecessary ones or consolidate them into a single selected set.
  Ensure that the selected set you want to use is correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the selected sets are required for different purposes, consider adjusting the configuration to ensure that only one is active at a time for the specific operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to Quality Management and catalogs to understand the best practices for managing selected sets.
