• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHUAP242 - Select one entry only ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHUAP242 - Select one entry only
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user is expected to select exactly one entry from a list or selection screen, but either no entry or multiple entries have been selected. The system requires a single, unambiguous selection to proceed with the operation.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  Typically during processing in transaction codes related to vehicle management or asset processing (e.g., in Vehicle History, Asset Master, or similar modules).
  When a user is prompted to select an entry from a list (e.g., a vehicle, asset, or document) and the selection is ambiguous.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Ensure that exactly one entry is selected before proceeding.
  If multiple entries are selected, deselect all but one.
  If no entries are selected, select one entry.
  Review the selection screen or list carefully to confirm only one item is marked.
  If the selection is done via a checkbox or radio button, use the appropriate control to select a single entry.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This is a standard validation message to prevent ambiguous processing.
  If you are developing or customizing the selection screen, ensure that the selection logic enforces single selection where required.
  In some cases, the UI control should be a radio button (which allows only one selection) instead of checkboxes.
  Check OSS notes or SAP Help Portal for any specific notes related to the transaction or module you are working with.
  Example transactions where this might appear: Vehicle History (VH transactions), Asset Accounting (AS transactions), or custom reports.
