• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA249 - Use selection option "Single Value" for parameter '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA249 indicates that there is an issue with the selection option used for a parameter in a query or report. Specifically, it suggests that the selection option for the parameter should be set to "Single Value," but it is currently set to something else (like "Multiple Values" or "Range").
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  The parameter in question is defined in a way that it only accepts a single value, but the user has attempted to input multiple values or a range.
  The query or report is not configured correctly to handle the expected input for that parameter.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Parameter Settings:
  
  Go to the query or report definition in SAP.
  Locate the parameter that is causing the issue.
  Ensure that the selection option is set to "Single Value."
  
  
  
  Modify User Input:
  
  If you are running a report or query, ensure that you are only entering a single value for the parameter in question.
  If you need to filter by multiple values, check if there is an alternative parameter that allows for multiple selections.
  
  
  
  Adjust Query Design:
  
  If you are designing a query, you may need to adjust the query settings to allow for multiple values if that is the intended functionality. However, this may not be possible if the underlying data model restricts it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the specific query or report to understand the expected input for the parameters.
