  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG301 - Select only one entry ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WG301 - Select only one entry


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a user is expected to select exactly one entry from a list or selection screen, but either no entry or multiple entries have been selected. The system requires a single, unambiguous choice to proceed, and the current selection violates this rule.


    When does it typically occur?

    • In transaction codes or screens where the user must pick one item from a list (e.g., selecting a partner function, a document, or a single record).
    • During processing steps that require a unique selection to continue.
    • In workflow or partner determination steps where only one partner or entry should be chosen.

    Solution:

    • Review the selection made on the screen.
    • Ensure that exactly one entry is selected.
    • If multiple entries are selected, deselect all but one.
    • If no entries are selected, select one entry.
    • Confirm the selection and proceed.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is a standard validation message to prevent ambiguous processing.
    • If you are developing or customizing SAP screens or workflows, ensure that the UI logic enforces single selection where required.
    • In some cases, this message can be triggered by user exits or BAdIs that expect a single entry but receive multiple.
    • If the error occurs unexpectedly, check for:
      • Custom code or enhancements affecting selection logic.
      • User roles and authorizations that might limit visibility or selection.
      • Data inconsistencies causing multiple entries to appear when only one should.

    Example:

    In a partner determination screen, if you are asked to select a partner for a sales order, selecting two partners will trigger WG301. You must select only one partner to proceed.
