  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB547 - Select only one entry ?

    The SAP error message TB547 "Select only one entry" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single selection from a list or table, but multiple entries are selected instead. This can happen in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to execute a transaction, process a report, or perform a specific function that is designed to work with only one item at a time.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple Selections: The most common cause is that the user has selected multiple rows or entries in a list when the system expects only one.
    2. Incorrect Functionality: The function or transaction being executed is designed to operate on a single entry, and the system is programmed to prevent actions on multiple selections to avoid ambiguity or errors.
    3. User Error: Sometimes, users may inadvertently select multiple items due to interface design or misunderstanding of the selection process.

    Solution:

    1. Review Selections: Check the selections made in the list or table. Ensure that only one entry is selected before proceeding with the action.
    2. Deselect Entries: If multiple entries are highlighted, deselect them by clicking on the selected rows or using the appropriate deselect option in the interface.
    3. Use Filters: If you need to narrow down your selection, consider using filters or search functions to find the specific entry you want to work with.
    4. Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the selection process for a specific transaction, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly select entries.

    • Transaction Codes: The error can occur in various transaction codes (T-codes) depending on the context, such as in reports, data entry screens, or configuration settings.
