• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_ENH113 - Select only one cell within the respective characteristic column ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_ENH113: Select only one cell within the respective characteristic column
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when working with Classification or Variant Configuration (often in the context of Classification Data or Characteristics) and the user tries to select or edit multiple cells simultaneously within a single characteristic column in a table or grid (e.g., in the Classification data screen or in a characteristic value assignment screen).
  The system expects the user to select only one cell per characteristic column to maintain data consistency and avoid ambiguity in processing characteristic values.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  While maintaining classification data (e.g., in transaction CL20N, CL24N, or similar).
  When editing characteristic values in a table or grid view.
  When enhancing or customizing classification or variant configuration screens.
  Possibly during enhancements or user-exits related to classification data where the UI expects single cell selection.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select only one cell in the characteristic column at a time before performing the action (e.g., editing, copying, or enhancing).
  If you are trying to perform a bulk operation, check if the transaction or screen supports it; if not, process one cell at a time.
  Review any custom enhancements or user-exits that might be causing multiple cell selections or interfering with the standard behavior.
  If this error appears during a custom enhancement or BAdI implementation, ensure that the code logic enforces single cell selection or handles multiple selections properly.
