    You have carried out the 'Choose' function but several versions have
    been selected. The system chooses the version with the smallest version
    number out of the selected versions.

    System Response

    If you choose the 'Choose' button, press F2, choose 'Choose version' in
    the menu or double-click on the version, the system interprets it as
    the 'Choose' function.

    How to fix this error?

    In order to choose a version, you have three options:
    Select the relevant version and carry out the 'Choose' function.
    Double-click on any field of the relevant version.
    Position the cursor on any field of the version and carry out the
    'Choose' function.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    Note that the first step has priority over steps 2 and 3. This means
    that, when you double-click, the system first checks whether you
    selected a version. In this case, it does not matter on which version
    you double-clicked. If you select several versions, the system will
    choose the version with the smallest version number. If you select no
    version at all, the system will choose the version that you
    double-click on.
    Steps 2 and 3 have the same priority.
