• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V1021 - Select one object only ?

  The SAP error message V1021 ("Select one object only") typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or related modules when a user attempts to perform an action that requires a single object selection, but multiple objects have been selected instead. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when processing sales orders, deliveries, or billing documents.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system expects the user to select only one item or object for processing, but the user has selected multiple items. This can happen in situations like:

  To resolve the V1021 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Your Selection: Check the list of selected items or objects. Ensure that only one item is selected for the action you are trying to perform.

  Reattempt the Action: After ensuring that only one object is selected, try to execute the action again.
