• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_ENH111 - Select only one characteristic column ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_ENH111: Select only one characteristic column
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you are working with the SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) system, specifically in the Classification and Characteristic enhancement or configuration area. The message indicates that the user or the system has selected more than one characteristic column in a context where only a single characteristic column is allowed.
  Typically, this happens during:
  
  Defining or enhancing classification characteristics.
  Configuring characteristic columns in a table or report.
  Data selection or filtering where only one characteristic should be chosen but multiple have been selected.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP GTS or related modules, certain operations or enhancements require that only one characteristic column be selected to maintain data integrity or to ensure the logic works correctly. Selecting multiple characteristic columns can cause ambiguity or conflicts in processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check your selection:
  
  Review the screen or configuration where you are selecting characteristic columns. Make sure you select only one characteristic column as required by the process.
  
  
  Adjust your filter or selection criteria:
  
  If you are filtering or selecting data, narrow down your selection to a single characteristic column.
  
  
  Review enhancement or configuration logic:
  
  If you are implementing or modifying an enhancement (e.g., BAdI, user exit), ensure that your code or configuration logic respects the rule of selecting only one characteristic column.
  
  
  Consult documentation or SAP notes:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be related to specific SAP GTS versions or patches. Check SAP Notes or the official SAP Help Portal for any updates or patches related to WGDS_ENH111.
