• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R9057 - Release fields "Sign", "Option" and "To default value" ?

  The SAP error message R9057 typically indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria in a report or transaction where the fields "Sign", "Option", and "To default value" are not properly filled out. This error often occurs in the context of selection screens where users are expected to specify conditions for data retrieval.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Selection Criteria: The error usually arises when the user has not provided the necessary selection criteria for a report or transaction. Specifically, the fields "Sign" (which indicates whether to include or exclude values), "Option" (which specifies the type of comparison, such as "EQ" for equal, "NE" for not equal, etc.), and "To default value" (which is used for range selections) are not filled out correctly.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Users may have entered invalid or incomplete data in the selection fields, leading to the error.
  Custom Development Issues: If the report or transaction is custom-developed, there may be issues in the code that handle the selection criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Ensure that all required fields on the selection screen are filled out correctly. Specifically, check that:
  
  The "Sign" field is populated with either "I" (Include) or "E" (Exclude).
  The "Option" field is filled with a valid comparison operator (e.g., EQ, NE, GT, LT, etc.).
  The "To default value" field is filled out if a range is being specified.
  
  
  
  Default Values: If applicable, set default values for these fields in the selection screen to avoid user error.
  
  
  Validation: Implement validation checks in custom reports to ensure that users cannot proceed without filling out these fields correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for the specific report or transaction to understand the expected input for the selection criteria.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  User Training: Provide training for users on how to correctly fill out selection criteria to minimize errors.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the report or transaction to identify any underlying issues in the code that may be causing the error.
  
  By ensuring that the selection criteria are correctly filled out and validating user input, you can resolve the R9057 error and improve the overall user experience in SAP.
