• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPAU036 - Single object processing required ?

  The SAP error message SPAU036 ("Single object processing required") typically occurs during the adjustment phase of a transport request, particularly when you are trying to adjust multiple objects at once in the SPAU (Adjustment of Modifications) transaction. This message indicates that the system requires you to process each object individually rather than in bulk.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Objects Selected: You have selected multiple objects for adjustment, but the system requires that you process them one at a time.
  Modification Types: The objects may have different modification types or statuses that necessitate individual processing.

  Solution:
  To resolve the SPAU036 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Single Object Processing:
  
  Go to the SPAU transaction.
  Instead of selecting multiple objects, select one object at a time.
  Process the selected object by choosing the appropriate adjustment option (e.g., "Adjust", "Delete", "Keep").
  
  
  
  Review Object Status:
  
  Check the status of the objects you are trying to adjust. Ensure that they are eligible for adjustment and do not have conflicting statuses.
