• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WUF053 - Set only one the fields: fixed value, initial, and field check class ?

  The SAP error message WUF053 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of a field in a data element or a domain. Specifically, it suggests that you have set more than one of the following fields: fixed value, initial value, and field check class. This is not allowed, as only one of these fields should be set at a time.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You have defined multiple attributes for a field that are mutually exclusive.
  For example, if you set a fixed value for a field, you should not also set an initial value or a field check class for that same field.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to:
  
  
  Identify the Field: Determine which field is causing the error. This can usually be found in the context of the error message or by checking the configuration where the error occurred.
  
  
  Review Field Settings: Go to the data element or domain definition in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the settings for the field in question.
  
  
  Modify the Configuration:
  
  If you have set a fixed value, remove any initial value or field check class settings.
  If you have set an initial value, ensure that there is no fixed value or field check class defined.
  If you are using a field check class, ensure that neither a fixed value nor an initial value is set.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Test: Re-run the process that triggered the error to ensure that it has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Check Class: This is used to define a set of permissible values for a field. If a field check class is defined, it restricts the values that can be entered into the field.
  Fixed Value: This is a constant value that is assigned to a field, which cannot be changed during runtime.
  Initial Value: This is the default value that a field takes when it is first created or initialized.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Always ensure that your field definitions are clear and do not conflict with each other.
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing a field's settings, consult with a colleague or refer to SAP documentation for guidance.
  Consider documenting any changes you make for future reference and to assist others who may work with the same configuration.
