  Reattempt the Action: After ensuring that only one entry 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 entry.

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error can occur in various transaction codes depending on the context (e.g., ME22N for purchase orders, VA02 for sales orders, etc.).
