• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01125 - Enter the number for only one document ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHU01125 - Enter the number for only one document
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a transaction or report expects the user to enter exactly one document number, but the input contains either no document number or multiple document numbers. The system requires a single, unique document number to proceed, and entering more than one or leaving the field blank causes this message.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  Typically during document processing in logistics or financial modules (e.g., handling delivery documents, billing documents, or material documents).
  When a selection screen or input field is designed to accept only one document number but multiple entries are provided.
  When a user tries to process or display details for a document but does not specify exactly one document number.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter exactly one document number in the relevant input field.
  Check the input field for multiple entries separated by commas, spaces, or ranges, and reduce it to a single document number.
  If you intended to process multiple documents, use a different transaction or report that supports multiple document processing.
  Verify that the document number entered is correct and exists in the system.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a safeguard to ensure that the system processes only one document at a time where required.
  If you are unsure which document number to enter, check the document list or use search help (F4) to find the correct document.
  In custom programs or user exits, this message might be triggered if the logic expects a single document but receives multiple.
  
  
  Example:
  If you are in transaction VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) and the system prompts for a delivery document number, entering multiple numbers like 80012345 80012346 will cause this error. Enter only one delivery document number, e.g., 80012345.
  
  If you need further help, please provide the transaction code or context where this error occurs.
