• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWJ_PPF001 - Select one entry only ?

  The SAP error message SWJ_PPF001 ("Select one entry only") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Workflow or the Post Processing Framework (PPF) when a user attempts to select multiple entries in a situation where only a single entry is allowed. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to execute a specific action or process that is designed to handle only one item at a time.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The user has selected more than one item in a list or table where the system expects only one selection.
  Configuration Issue: The workflow or PPF action may be configured to only allow single entries, and the user interface does not enforce this restriction properly.
  User Error: The user may not be aware that only one entry can be selected for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Entry: Ensure that you only select one entry from the list or table when performing the action that triggered the error. Deselect any additional entries before proceeding.
  Check Configuration: If you are an administrator or have access to configuration settings, review the PPF or workflow configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly for the intended use case.
  User Training: Provide training or documentation to users to clarify when and how to select entries properly in the system.
  Debugging: If the issue persists and seems to be a system error rather than user error, consider debugging the workflow or PPF action to identify any underlying issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using. This can provide insights into whether this is a known bug and if there are any recommended fixes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes related to workflows and PPF, such as SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI2_FREQ (Work Item Selection with Frequency).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on workflows and PPF for best practices and guidelines on how to manage entries and actions effectively.
