T100_MDG_BS_DRAD031 - Details

• The SAP error message T100_MDG_BS_DRAD031, which states "Wildcards are not allowed in a selection," typically occurs when a user attempts to use wildcard characters (such as * or %) in a selection field where they are not permitted. This can happen in various contexts within SAP, particularly in Master Data Governance (MDG) or when filtering data in reports or transactions.

  Field Restrictions: Certain fields in SAP are designed to accept exact matches only, and using wildcards violates these constraints.
  
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the system configuration may restrict the use of wildcards in specific scenarios.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove Wildcards: Check the input fields where the error occurs and ensure that no wildcard characters are used. Enter the exact value you are looking for.
