• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VELO069 - Do not choose a node in the tree, but a value ?

  The SAP error message VELO069 typically occurs in the context of using the SAP system's tree structure, particularly when working with hierarchical data or selection screens that utilize tree nodes. This error indicates that the user has attempted to select a node in the tree instead of a specific value associated with that node.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A user selects a parent node or a tree node that does not represent a specific value or item.

  Solution:
  To resolve the VELO069 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select the Correct Item: Instead of selecting a node (which may represent a category or group), ensure that you are selecting a specific value or item that is a child of that node. Look for leaf nodes or specific entries that can be selected.
  
  
  Expand the Tree: If the tree structure is collapsed, expand the nodes to view the available values. This will help you identify the specific items you need to select.
  
  
  Check Documentation: If you are unsure about which values to select, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the expected selections.
  
  
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing training or guidance to users on how to navigate and select values correctly within the tree structure.
