• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CATSXT152 - Action is not possible in totals row; select another row ?

  The SAP error message CATSXT152 indicates that an action you are trying to perform in the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) is not possible because you are attempting to modify or interact with a totals row. The totals row is a summary line that aggregates data from other entries and does not allow for direct modifications or actions.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Select a Different Row: Instead of trying to perform the action on the totals row, click on one of the individual entries (data rows) above the totals row. This will allow you to perform the desired action on the actual time entries.
  
  
  Review Your Actions: Ensure that you are aware of which row you are selecting. If you need to make changes to the data, always select the specific entry rather than the totals row.
