• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY821 - Only one version may be selected for action & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY821 - Only one version may be selected for action &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you attempt to perform an action (such as release, delete, or change) on multiple versions of a document or object simultaneously, but the system requires that only one version be selected for that particular action.
  In SAP, certain transactions or processes that deal with version management (e.g., Engineering Change Management, Document Management System, or Workflow versions) restrict operations to a single version at a time to avoid inconsistencies or conflicts.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message indicates that the user has selected more than one version of an object.
  The system expects only one version to be selected for the action you are trying to perform.
  The placeholder "&" in the message usually contains the object or document number involved.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select Only One Version:
  
  Review your selection and ensure that only one version of the object/document is selected before performing the action.
  
  
  Check Selection Screen:
  
  On the selection screen or list, deselect all but one version.
  
  
  Understand the Action Restrictions:
  
  Some actions inherently allow only one version to be processed at a time. If you need to process multiple versions, you may need to do it one by one or check if there is a batch processing option.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  If you believe multiple versions should be allowed, check SAP Notes or documentation for your specific module or transaction to see if there is a configuration or patch that changes this behavior.
