• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_ICHDM_MSG010 - Enter a selection that identifies a unique object ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_ICHDM_MSG010 typically indicates that the system requires a selection that uniquely identifies an object, but the input provided does not meet this requirement. This error is often encountered in scenarios where a specific object (like a document, material, or other entity) needs to be identified uniquely for processing.
  Cause:
  
  Ambiguous Selection: The selection criteria provided do not uniquely identify a single object. For example, if you are trying to retrieve a material and you provide a range of material numbers instead of a single number, the system cannot determine which specific material you are referring to.
  Missing Key Fields: Required fields that are necessary to uniquely identify the object may be missing from the selection criteria.
  Incorrect Input Format: The format of the input data may not match the expected format, leading to ambiguity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using are specific enough to identify a single object. If you are using multiple fields, make sure that the combination of these fields will lead to a unique result.
  Provide Complete Information: Check if all required fields are filled in. If certain fields are mandatory for uniquely identifying the object, make sure they are included in your selection.
  Use Specific Identifiers: Instead of using ranges or partial identifiers, use complete and specific identifiers (like a full material number or document number).
  Check for Duplicates: If you believe your selection should be unique, check the database to see if there are duplicate entries that might be causing the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in various transactions depending on the context (e.g., material management, document processing).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the required fields and selection criteria.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the program execution to see where the selection criteria are being evaluated and why they are not unique.
