• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BC104 - Position the cursor on a valid row ?

  The SAP error message BC104: Position the cursor on a valid row typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action (like editing or deleting a row) in a table or list where the cursor is not positioned on a valid row. This can happen in various SAP transactions or screens that involve lists or tables.
  Cause:
  
  Cursor Position: The most common cause is that the cursor is not placed on a row that can be selected or edited. This can happen if the user clicks outside of the valid rows or if the table is empty.
  Table State: The table might not have any data, or the row you are trying to interact with may be in a state that does not allow for the action (e.g., a header row or a summary row).
  User Permissions: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary permissions to edit or delete the selected row.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reposition the Cursor: Ensure that the cursor is positioned directly on a valid row in the table. Click on a row that contains data.
  Check for Data: Verify that the table or list you are working with contains data. If it is empty, you will need to add data before performing any actions.
  Review Permissions: If you suspect that permissions might be an issue, check with your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary rights to perform the action on the selected row.
