  Identify the Action: Determine which action you intend to perform (create, change, or delete).
  
  
  Separate Actions: Ensure that you are only performing one action at a time. If you need to create a new record, do that first, and then perform any changes or deletions in separate transactions.
  
  
  Check Input Fields: Review the input fields in the transaction to ensure that you have not inadvertently selected multiple actions. For example, check if there are checkboxes or radio buttons that indicate the type of action you want to perform.
  
  
  Transaction Flow: If you are using a custom transaction or a specific program, ensure that the flow of the transaction is designed to handle only one action at a time.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct procedure, refer to the SAP documentation or user manuals related to the specific transaction you are working with.
  
  
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing additional training to users on how to properly use the transaction to avoid confusion.
