• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01241 - Multiple rows selected, select only one ?

  The SAP error message W_DSD_01241 indicates that a query or selection operation has returned multiple rows when only one row was expected. This typically occurs in scenarios where a unique record is required, but the selection criteria are not specific enough, leading to multiple records being retrieved.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Unique Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the query do not uniquely identify a single record. This can happen if the fields used for selection are not sufficient to distinguish between multiple records.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be duplicate records in the database that meet the selection criteria, which can lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration of the system or the specific transaction may not be set up to handle multiple records properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used in the query or transaction. Ensure that the criteria are specific enough to return only one record. This may involve adding additional filters or conditions.
  Check for Duplicates: Investigate the underlying data to see if there are duplicate records that match the selection criteria. If duplicates exist, you may need to clean up the data to ensure uniqueness.
  Review Configuration: If the error occurs in a specific transaction or report, check the configuration settings to ensure they are set up correctly to handle the expected data.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the query to see where it is failing and why multiple rows are being returned.
