• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP413 - Select only one entry ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP413 - Select only one entry
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in SAP when a user is expected to select exactly one entry from a list or selection screen, but either:
  
  No entry is selected, or  
  More than one entry is selected.
  
  The system requires a single, unambiguous choice to proceed, and multiple or zero selections violate this requirement.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During selection screens or pop-ups where the user must pick one item (e.g., selecting a single document, vendor, material, or any master data record).  
  In custom or standard SAP transactions where the logic enforces a single selection for further processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select exactly one entry: Review the list or selection options and choose only one item before proceeding.  
  If no entries are selected: Make sure to select one entry.  
  If multiple entries are selected: Deselect all but one entry.  
  Check for UI issues: Sometimes, the selection might not be obvious (e.g., checkboxes, radio buttons). Ensure the selection method is clear and correctly used.  
  If this is a custom program: Review the selection logic in the code to ensure it properly enforces single selection and provides clear instructions to the user.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W) type message, meaning the system expects user correction before continuing.

  The message class is usually WXP (related to SAP GUI selection and popup handling).
