  Error Message
  WRF_CHAR_VAL014: Select one value only
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user or a program tries to select or input multiple values in a field or selection screen where only a single value is allowed. The system expects exactly one value, but multiple values have been provided.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Selecting multiple entries in a single-value selection field.
  Providing multiple values in a parameter or characteristic that is defined to accept only one value.
  Using a selection screen or filter where the input is restricted to a single value, but multiple values are entered.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, ensure that only one value is selected or entered in the relevant field or parameter.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check the selection screen or input field:
  
  Verify that you have selected or entered only one value where the system expects a single value.
  
  
  Adjust the input:
  
  Remove any additional values so that only one remains.
  
  
  Review the characteristic or parameter definition:
  
  If you are working with characteristics (e.g., in variant configuration or reporting), confirm that the characteristic is set to single-value input. If multiple values are needed, the characteristic must be defined to accept multiple values.
  
  
  If you are a developer:  
  
  Check the code or selection logic to ensure that only one value is passed to the function/module.
  Validate input before processing to avoid multiple values being passed where only one is allowed.
