• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR423 - Please select one option only ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR423 - Please select one option only
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR423 occurs when a user is required to select exactly one option from a list of possible choices, but either no option or multiple options have been selected. This typically happens in SAP transactions or screens where a single selection is mandatory to proceed, such as choosing a payment method, a posting key, or a specific condition type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select exactly one option: Review the selection screen or input fields and ensure that only one option is selected.
  Deselect multiple selections: If multiple options are selected, deselect all but one.
  Check mandatory fields: Make sure the field requiring the single selection is not left blank.
  Screen navigation: Sometimes, the error can occur if the user tries to proceed without making a selection. Make the required choice before continuing.
