• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR002 - Make a selection ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR002 - Make a selection
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR002 - Make a selection typically occurs in SAP when a user tries to execute a transaction or report that requires at least one selection criterion or input field to be filled, but no selection has been made. Essentially, the system expects the user to specify some filter or parameter to limit the data retrieval or processing, and it cannot proceed without it.
  This message is common in various SAP modules, especially in reports, data extraction, or selection screens where the system needs input to know what data to process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter at least one selection criterion:
  
  On the selection screen, provide the necessary input in one or more fields. For example, enter a date range, document number, material number, vendor, or any other relevant parameter depending on the transaction.
  
  
  Check mandatory fields:
  
  Some selection screens have mandatory fields that must be filled. Ensure these fields are not left blank.
  
  
  Use available search helps:
  
  If unsure what to enter, use the F4 help (search help) to find valid entries.
  
  
  Review selection screen logic (for developers):
  
  If you are a developer or consultant and this message appears unexpectedly, check the selection screen logic or user-exit/enhancement that might be enforcing this validation.
