  SAP Message W0109
  Message Text:
  
  Do not maintain any fields in the selection values for sales data box
  
  Cause
  This warning message typically occurs in the context of sales data selection or data entry screens where the system expects that no fields should be manually maintained or entered in a particular section related to sales data selection criteria.
  More specifically:
  
  The message appears when a user tries to enter or maintain values in fields that are not supposed to be filled in the selection criteria for sales data.
  This often happens in customizing or configuration steps related to sales data extraction, reporting, or data transfer processes (e.g., data selection for sales data boxes in tax reporting or data interfaces).
  The system expects these fields to be left blank because they are either automatically populated or irrelevant for the current selection context.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During data selection for sales data boxes (e.g., in tax reporting or data transfer scenarios).
  When maintaining selection criteria or filters for sales data extraction.
  In some cases, during customizing of sales data interfaces or data transfer processes where certain fields are restricted.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Do not enter any values in the fields of the sales data box selection criteria where the message appears.  
  
  Clear any manually entered values in these fields.
  Leave the fields blank as per system requirements.
  
  
  
  Check the customizing or configuration settings where the selection criteria are maintained:  
  
  Ensure that the selection screen or data entry screen is used as intended.
  Verify that no unnecessary fields are being maintained or filled.
  
  
  
  Review the documentation or process instructions for the specific sales data box or data extraction process you are working on.  
  
  Follow the guidelines on which fields should be maintained and which should be left blank.
  
  
  
  If this message appears during a custom development or enhancement, review the code or screen logic to ensure that fields are not being incorrectly populated or validated.
  
  
  
  Related Information
