• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WL034 - Only select one entry for the function selected ?

  The SAP error message WL034 ("Only select one entry for the function selected") typically occurs in the context of a transaction or function where the system expects the user to select only one entry, but multiple entries have been selected instead. This is common in scenarios where a user is trying to perform an action that is intended for a single item, such as processing a single order, invoice, or record.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The user has selected more than one item in a list or table when the system only allows for a single selection.
  Incorrect Functionality: The function being executed is designed to operate on a single entry, and the user interface does not restrict the selection to one item.
  User Error: The user may not be aware that only one selection is allowed for the specific function they are trying to execute.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selections: Go back to the selection screen or list and ensure that only one entry is selected. Deselect any additional entries.
  Check Functionality: Verify that the function you are trying to execute is indeed meant for a single entry. If you need to process multiple entries, look for a different function or transaction that supports batch processing.
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing training or documentation to users to help them understand the limitations of the function they are using.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in various transaction codes depending on the context (e.g., creating or processing orders, invoices, etc.).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or function you are using.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles and permissions to perform the action they are attempting.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the configuration of the SAP system may need to be reviewed to ensure that it aligns with business processes.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further assistance.
