• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC535 - Multiple values that have been cut cannot be pasted to one value ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC535 – Multiple values that have been cut cannot be pasted to one value
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to paste multiple cut values into a single field or cell that only accepts one value. Essentially, the system detects that you have copied or cut multiple entries (e.g., multiple cells or multiple lines) and you are attempting to paste them into a single-value field, which is not allowed.
  This is common in SAP transactions or applications where data entry fields are designed to hold only one value, but the user tries to paste multiple values at once.
  
  Solution:
  
  Paste one value at a time: Instead of cutting multiple values and trying to paste them into a single field, paste each value individually into separate fields or cells.
  Check the target field: Ensure that the field you are pasting into is designed to accept multiple values (e.g., a multi-line input or table cell). If it only accepts a single value, do not paste multiple values.
  Use appropriate data transfer methods: If you need to transfer multiple values, use SAP functions or tools designed for bulk data upload (e.g., LSMW, BAPIs, or batch input sessions) rather than copy-paste.
  Clear clipboard and retry: Sometimes, the clipboard may hold multiple values unintentionally. Clear the clipboard and copy only the intended single value before pasting.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is typically encountered in SAP GUI screens where data entry is done manually.
  It is a validation message to prevent data inconsistency or errors caused by improper data input.
  If you are working with ALV grids or table controls, ensure you select and paste data correctly according to the control’s capabilities.
  For mass data changes, consider using SAP standard tools for data migration or mass maintenance rather than manual copy-paste.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WRF_APC535 is a user input error indicating that multiple values cannot be pasted into a single-value field. The fix is to paste only one value per field or use appropriate mass data handling tools.
