This error indicates that the selection must be made using ranges or GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers) rather than individual values.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Selection Method: The API or function module you are using requires that selections be made using ranges or GUIDs, but the input provided is in a different format (e.g., single values).
  Data Format Issues: The data being passed to the API may not be in the expected format, leading to the system not recognizing the selection criteria.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Use Ranges or GUIDs: Modify your selection criteria to use ranges or GUIDs. This typically involves:
  
  Creating a range table that defines the start and end values for the selection.
  Using GUIDs if the API requires them, ensuring that you are passing the correct identifiers.
  
  
  
  Check API Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific API or function module you are using to understand the expected input format and selection criteria.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can step through the code to see what values are being passed to the API and ensure they meet the expected criteria.
