  The SAP error message CPWB202 "Select header" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Production Planning (PP) module, particularly when working with the Capacity Planning Workbench (CPWB).

  Refresh the Screen: If you believe you have selected a header but still receive the error, try refreshing the screen or navigating away and back to the CPWB to reset the interface.
