• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DYNAMIC_SELECT001 - Selection criteria were changed ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_DYNAMIC_SELECT001: Selection criteria were changed
  
  Cause
  This error message typically occurs in SAP Workflow or Report Writer environments when the selection criteria for a dynamic selection have been altered after they were initially set or saved. Specifically:
  
  The selection criteria used in a dynamic selection (e.g., in a report or workflow step) have been modified manually or programmatically.
  The system detects that the current selection criteria differ from the original or expected criteria.
  This can happen if a user or a program changes the selection parameters after they were stored or after the dynamic selection was created.
  
  In other words, the dynamic selection's filter conditions are inconsistent or have been changed unexpectedly, which can cause the system to raise this warning or error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When running reports or workflows that use dynamic selections.
  When a user modifies the selection criteria in a selection screen or in a dynamic selection dialog.
  When a program or user changes the selection criteria after they were saved or passed to a function/module.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection criteria used in the dynamic selection.
  Ensure that the criteria have not been changed manually or by a program after being set.
  
  
  
  Reset or Recreate the Dynamic Selection:
  
  If the selection criteria were changed unintentionally, reset them to the original values.
  Recreate the dynamic selection if necessary to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Avoid Changing Selection Criteria After Saving:
  
  Make sure that once the selection criteria are saved or passed to a process, they are not altered.
  If changes are needed, recreate the selection or restart the process.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved, verify that they do not modify the selection criteria unexpectedly.
  Adjust the code to maintain consistency of selection parameters.
