  Position the Cursor: Ensure that the cursor is positioned on a valid line item within the line structure area. Click on the desired line item to select it.
  Check for Active Line: If you are using keyboard navigation, make sure that you have highlighted a line item using the arrow keys before executing any commands.
  Refresh the Screen: If the issue persists, try refreshing the screen or navigating away and back to the relevant transaction to reset the cursor position.
  Review User Actions: Ensure that the action you are trying to perform is appropriate for the selected line item. Some actions may require specific conditions to be met.
