• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CE555 - Place the cursor on a line which may be selected. ?

  The SAP error message CE555 ("Place the cursor on a line which may be selected") typically occurs when you are trying to perform an action that requires you to select a specific line or entry in a list or table, but the cursor is not positioned on a valid line. This can happen in various SAP transactions, especially when dealing with lists, reports, or selection screens.
  Cause:
  
  Cursor Position: The most common cause is that the cursor is not positioned on a selectable line in the list or table. This could be due to the cursor being placed in an area that does not correspond to a valid entry.
  No Valid Entries: There may be no valid entries available for selection in the current context.
  User Permissions: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary permissions to select certain entries, leading to confusion about what can be selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Position the Cursor Correctly: Move the cursor to a valid line in the list or table. Ensure that you are clicking on a line that is selectable (usually highlighted or formatted differently).
  Check for Valid Entries: Ensure that there are entries available for selection. If the list is empty or does not contain valid entries, you will not be able to select anything.
  Refresh the List: If you believe there should be entries available, try refreshing the list or re-running the report to see if the entries appear.
