  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for the specific report or transaction you are using. It may provide insights into the expected selection criteria and how to properly configure your request.
  
  
  Test with Different Selections: If you are unsure which selection is causing the issue, try running the report with only single records selected, and then with only total records selected to identify the source of the conflict.
