• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+584 - Selection of items only possible for message type &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W+584 Selection of items only possible for message type &1
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to select or process items in a document or transaction that are not allowed for the specified message type. In SAP, message types control how messages (like output messages for billing, delivery, etc.) are processed and which items can be selected or included.
  The system restricts the selection of items only to certain message types. If you attempt to select items for a message type that does not support item-level selection, this warning is triggered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Message Type &1: This placeholder (&1) is replaced by the actual message type code in the message.
  Some message types are designed to work only at the header level (e.g., sending a message for the entire document), while others allow item-level processing.
  Trying to select individual items for a message type that only supports header-level processing causes this warning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the message type configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (Output Types).
  Select the application (e.g., V2 for Sales, V3 for Shipping, etc.).
  Find the message type in question.
  Review the settings under the Processing routines and Output determination.
  Verify if the message type is configured to allow item-level processing.
  
  
  
  Adjust your selection:
  
  If the message type does not support item-level selection, you should select the entire document or header instead of individual items.
  Alternatively, use a message type that supports item-level selection if you need to process items individually.
  
  
  
  If customization is needed:
  
  If business requirements demand item-level processing for this message type, you may need to customize the message type settings or create a new message type that supports item-level processing.
  This involves ABAP development or configuration changes in output determination.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction NACE: Used for output determination and message type configuration.
  Message Types: Control how outputs (print, email, EDI, etc.) are generated and processed.
  Output Determination: The process that decides which messages are triggered for a document.
  Item-level vs Header-level processing: Important distinction in output processing.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempting to select items for a message type that only supports header-level processing.
  Solution: Use the correct message type that supports item-level selection or select the entire document/header.
  Check: Message type configuration in NACE.
