• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSPT047 - Please, select only one row. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSPT047 - Please, select only one row.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user is expected to select exactly one row (record) from a list or table in a SAP transaction or report, but either no row or multiple rows have been selected. The program logic requires a single selection to proceed, and multiple or zero selections violate this requirement.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  In selection screens or ALV (ABAP List Viewer) grids where the user must pick one entry to perform an action (e.g., display details, edit, delete).
  During workflow steps or approval processes where only one item can be processed at a time.
  In transactions or custom programs where the logic is designed to handle a single record at a time.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select exactly one row: Review the list or table and ensure that only one row is selected before proceeding.
  Deselect extra rows: If multiple rows are selected, deselect all but one.
  If no rows are selected: Select one row to continue.
  Check user instructions: Sometimes the UI or help text indicates the need for a single selection.
  If the error persists despite correct selection: There might be a UI or program issue; try refreshing the screen or restarting the transaction.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a standard SAP message used in various modules and transactions.
  It is often linked to function modules or methods that expect a single record input.
  In custom developments, this message can be triggered by the message class WSPT (or similar), and the message number 047.
  If you are a developer or consultant, check the program logic where the selection is processed to ensure proper handling of multiple selections.
  In some cases, enhancing the UI to prevent multiple selections (e.g., radio buttons instead of checkboxes) can avoid this error.
  
  
  Example:
  In a transaction where you have a list of purchase orders and you want to display details, if you select two purchase orders and press the "Display" button, the system will show WSPT047 because it expects only one purchase order to be selected.
