• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION_UI001 - Too many items selected. Please constrain your selection to a single item ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION_UI001: Too many items selected. Please constrain your selection to a single item.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to perform an action or confirm a process in SAP (often in the context of Warehouse Management, Delivery Processing, or similar modules) where the system expects exactly one item (e.g., one delivery, one document, one line item) to be selected, but multiple items have been selected instead.
  The underlying cause is that the UI or backend logic is designed to handle only a single item at a time for the particular operation, and selecting multiple items violates this constraint.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When confirming or processing deliveries or warehouse tasks in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Logistics Execution (LE).
  When using confirmation or processing screens that require a single selection for detailed processing.
  When a user selects multiple line items or documents in a list and tries to execute an action that only supports single-item processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select only one item:
  
  Review your selection and ensure that only one item (e.g., one delivery document, one warehouse task, one line item) is selected before executing the action.
  
  
  Adjust your selection criteria:
  
  If you are using filters or selection screens, narrow down your selection so that only one item appears or is selectable.
  
  
  Check the transaction or screen design:
  
  If you are a developer or consultant, verify if the UI or program logic is designed to handle multiple selections. If multiple selections are required, the program logic needs to be adjusted accordingly.
  
  
  User training:
  
  Educate users on the correct usage of the transaction or screen, emphasizing that certain actions require single-item selection.

  Transaction Codes: The error can appear in transactions like /SCWM/CONF (EWM confirmation), VL02N (Delivery processing), or custom confirmation screens.
  
  
  Example:
  If you are in the delivery confirmation screen and you select two deliveries and press "Confirm," the system will throw this error because it expects you to confirm deliveries one at a time.
