  SAP Error Message: WE005 - "You have chosen one entry only"
  
  Cause:
  The error message WE005 typically occurs in the context of IDoc processing or when working with partner profiles in transaction WE20 or related IDoc configuration transactions.
  
  This message appears when the system expects multiple entries (e.g., multiple partner profiles, message types, or segments) to be selected or processed, but only one entry has been chosen.
  It often happens when you try to perform an action that requires multiple selections, but only a single entry is selected.
  In some cases, it can also occur if the system is trying to display or process a list but finds only one entry, which might not be sufficient for the intended operation.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When maintaining partner profiles (WE20), if you try to perform an operation that requires multiple partner profiles or message types but only one is selected.
  When processing IDocs in WE02/WE05 and trying to filter or select entries.
  When using certain reports or tools that expect multiple entries but receive only one.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Your Selection:
  
  Ensure that you have selected multiple entries if the operation requires it.
  For example, in partner profile maintenance, select all relevant partner profiles or message types before executing the action.
  
  
  
  Adjust Filters or Selection Criteria:
  
  If you are filtering data (e.g., in WE02/WE05), broaden your selection criteria to include multiple entries.
  Avoid overly restrictive filters that return only one entry if the operation expects more.
  
  
  
  Review the Transaction or Program Logic:
  
  If you are running a custom program or report, check the logic to ensure it can handle single entries or adjust it to allow single-entry processing if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation or Notes:
  
  Sometimes, this message is a standard informational message rather than an error, indicating that only one entry was found or selected.
  Check SAP Notes or documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using.
