• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SC481 - You entered more than one object ?

  The SAP error message SC481 ("You entered more than one object") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single object, but multiple objects have been selected or entered instead. This can happen in various SAP transactions, particularly in areas like material management, project management, or when dealing with master data.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The user may have inadvertently selected multiple items (e.g., materials, vendors, or projects) when the system expects only one.
  Input Fields: The input fields may allow for only a single entry, but the user has entered multiple values separated by commas or spaces.
  Transaction Limitations: Certain transactions or functions are designed to work with a single object at a time, and trying to process multiple objects leads to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Selections: Review the selections made in the transaction. Ensure that only one object is selected or entered.
  Input Correction: If you are entering data manually, ensure that you are not including multiple entries in a single input field. Separate entries should be made in their respective fields or processed one at a time.
