  The SAP error message UPX_KPI510 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud when working with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or queries that involve characteristics (dimensions) in a report or analysis. The error indicates that the user is trying to select multiple values for a characteristic that only allows single value selection.
  Cause:
  The error message "UPX_KPI510 Area &1, level &2: Only single values may be selected for char. &3" is triggered when:
  
  A characteristic (dimension) in the query or KPI is defined to accept only a single value, but the user has attempted to select multiple values for that characteristic.
