SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SV - View Maintenance: Customize Messages

• Message number: 080

• Message text: OR links only permitted for the same field

What causes this issue?

You have attempted to link selection conditions for different fields
via a logical OR. Here, you can only link selection conditions for
different fields via a logical AND.
The OR links are evaluated before they are linked with other conditions
(via the logical AND).
Example of a selection condition that can be evaluated:
FIELD1 = 'OTTO' AND
FIELD2 = 'MEIER' OR
FIELD2 = 'MAIER' OR
FIELD2 = 'MEYER' OR
FIELD2 = 'MAYER' AND
FIELD3 >= '30'

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

This condition is evaluated as follows:
FIELD1 = 'OTTO' AND ( FIELD2 = 'MEIER' OR ... OR FIELD2 = 'MAYER' ) AND
FIELD3 = '30`
Example of a selection condition that cannot be evaluated:
FIELD1 = 'OTTO' AND
FIELD2 = 'MEIER' OR
FIELD3 >= '30'
