• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VO713 - Unexpected combination of radio buttons: & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VO713 - Unexpected combination of radio buttons: &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an invalid or inconsistent combination of radio buttons is selected in a SAP transaction or screen. SAP screens often use radio buttons to allow users to select mutually exclusive options. The system expects certain combinations to be logically consistent. If the combination of selected radio buttons does not conform to the expected logic or business rules, the system raises this error.
  The placeholder & in the message typically shows the actual combination or the problematic value causing the issue.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  In sales order processing (e.g., VA01, VA02), when selecting item categories or schedule line categories, certain radio button combinations are not allowed.
  In configuration or customizing screens where radio buttons control mutually exclusive settings.
  When user input or custom code (user-exits, BADIs) sets inconsistent values programmatically.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Selected Radio Buttons:
  
  Review the screen where the error occurs.
  Ensure that only valid combinations of radio buttons are selected.
  Refer to the SAP documentation or screen help to understand which combinations are allowed.
  
  
  
  Correct User Input:
  
  If the error is caused by manual input, correct the selection to a valid combination.
  
  
  
  Debug / Analyze Custom Code:
  
  If the error occurs during a process or via custom enhancements, debug the code to check if radio button values are set incorrectly.
  Verify that the logic setting these values respects SAP’s expected combinations.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message VO713 for your specific module or transaction.
  Sometimes, this error can be caused by known bugs or missing configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  In customizing (SPRO), verify the settings related to the screen or transaction.
  For example, in sales order processing, check item category determination and schedule line category settings.
