• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S1011 - Select only ONE item ?

  The SAP error message S1011 "Select only ONE item" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single selection, but multiple items are selected instead. This can happen in various contexts within SAP, such as when processing documents, making changes, or executing transactions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system expects the user to select only one item for the operation being performed. For example, if you are trying to display or edit a specific document, the system will not allow you to proceed if multiple documents are selected.
  Solution:
  To resolve the S1011 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Your Selection: Check the items you have selected in the list or table. Ensure that only one item is highlighted or selected.
  
  
  Deselect Other Items: If multiple items are selected, deselect all but one. This can usually be done by clicking on the item you want to keep selected while holding down the Ctrl key (to deselect others) or by using the selection options provided in the interface.
  
  
  Reattempt the Action: Once you have ensured that only one item is selected, try to perform the action again.
  
  
  Check for Filters: If you are using filters or search criteria, ensure that they are set correctly to limit the results to a single item.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the selection process for a specific transaction, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to that transaction.
