• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG228 - Only collective number, supplier and plant are used for selection ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG228 - Only collective number, supplier and plant are used for selection
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the SAP Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) module, specifically when you try to select or process invoice documents using selection criteria that are not allowed together. The message indicates that the selection screen or report expects only the following fields to be used for selection:
  
  Collective number (a grouping number for invoices)
  Supplier (vendor)
  Plant
  
  If you use other selection criteria in combination with these, the system raises this error.
  
  Explanation:
  In certain SAP transactions or reports related to invoice verification (e.g., MIRO, MRBR, or custom reports), the selection logic is restricted to ensure data consistency and performance. The collective number is a key grouping field, and when used, the system expects only supplier and plant to be combined with it for filtering.
  Using additional fields (like invoice date, document number, material number, etc.) along with collective number, supplier, and plant is not allowed in this context, hence the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust your selection criteria:
  
  When you encounter this error, revise your selection parameters to include only the allowed fields:
  
  Collective number
  Supplier (vendor)
  Plant
  
  
  
  Remove any other fields from the selection screen that are not permitted in combination with the collective number.
  
  
  If you need to filter by other criteria, avoid using the collective number or run a different report/transaction that supports those fields.
  
  
  Check transaction documentation or consult your SAP functional consultant to understand the correct selection logic for the specific transaction or report you are using.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in invoice verification and logistics invoice processing scenarios.
  Collective number is used to group multiple invoices or documents for processing.
  The error ensures that the selection logic remains consistent and prevents ambiguous or unsupported queries.
  If you are customizing or developing reports, ensure that the selection screen logic aligns with these restrictions.
