  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Your Selection: Ensure that you have selected only one operation or production order when performing the action. You can do this by deselecting other operations in the selection screen.
  
  
  Use Filters: If you are working with a large number of operations, consider using filters to narrow down your selection to a single operation.
  
  
  Review the Action: Make sure that the action you are trying to perform is appropriate for the selected operation. If the action is meant for a single operation, ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting multiple operations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific action you are trying to perform, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the expected input for that function.
  
  
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing training for users on how to properly select operations and understand the limitations of certain functions within the APO module.
