• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_TOOL151 - At least one method of BAPI &1 must be selected ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS_TOOL151: At least one method of BAPI &1 must be selected
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are working with BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) tools or transactions (such as BAPI Explorer or BAPI Builder) and you attempt to generate or work with a BAPI without selecting any method from the BAPI interface.
  
  BAPIs are implemented as methods of Business Object types.
  When you create or modify a BAPI, you must select at least one method (function module) that defines the BAPI’s functionality.
  If no method is selected, the system cannot proceed because a BAPI without any method has no executable logic.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While creating or modifying a BAPI in transactions like BAPI Explorer (transaction BAPI) or Business Object Builder (transaction SWO1).
  When generating or activating a BAPI interface without selecting any method.
  During the import or export of BAPI methods in development tools.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select at least one method for the BAPI you are working on.
  In the BAPI Builder or Business Object Builder, navigate to the methods tab and choose the relevant method(s) that implement the BAPI functionality.
  If you are creating a new BAPI, define the method(s) first or assign existing method(s) to the BAPI.
  After selecting the method(s), save and activate the BAPI.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  BAPIs are standardized interfaces to SAP business objects and are implemented as methods of these objects.
  Each BAPI corresponds to a method that performs a specific business function (e.g., create sales order, change customer data).
  The error message uses a placeholder &1 which will be replaced by the name of the BAPI in question.
  This message is part of the BAPI toolset validation to ensure that BAPIs are properly defined before use.
