• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKMLWIP502 - Select a line that is not a totals line ?

  The SAP error message CKMLWIP502 ("Select a line that is not a totals line") typically occurs in the context of the Material Ledger (ML) when you are trying to perform an action that requires selecting a specific line item, but the line you have selected is a totals line rather than a detailed line item.
  Cause:
  
  Totals Line Selected: The most common cause of this error is that the user has selected a line in the Material Ledger report or transaction that is a summary or totals line, which cannot be processed in the same way as detailed line items.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Users may inadvertently click on a totals line when they intend to select a specific item for further processing or analysis.
  Report Configuration: The report or transaction may be configured in a way that displays totals lines, leading to confusion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Detailed Line: Ensure that you are selecting a line that represents a specific material movement or transaction rather than a summary or totals line. Look for lines that contain detailed information about individual transactions.
  Review Report Layout: If you are using a report, check the layout or configuration to see if you can hide totals lines or adjust the display settings to make it easier to select the correct line.
  Use Filters: If applicable, use filters to narrow down the displayed data to only show detailed line items, which can help avoid selecting totals lines.
  Check Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction you are using to understand how to properly select line items.
