• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EE002 - Choose a valid line (one designated for selection) ?

  The SAP error message EE002 ("Choose a valid line (one designated for selection)") typically occurs when a user attempts to select a line in a list or table that is not eligible for selection. This can happen in various SAP transactions, particularly in those involving lists, reports, or selection screens.
  Causes:
  
  Non-selectable Lines: The line you are trying to select may not be designated for selection. This can happen if the line is a header, a summary, or a line that is not meant to be interacted with.
  Incorrect Cursor Position: The cursor may not be positioned correctly on a selectable line. If the cursor is on a blank line or a line that does not have selection capabilities, this error will occur.

  Display Mode: The transaction might be in a display mode where selection is not allowed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Line Eligibility: Ensure that the line you are trying to select is indeed selectable. Look for indicators or check the documentation for the transaction to understand which lines can be selected.
  Position the Cursor Correctly: Move the cursor to a valid line that is designated for selection. Make sure you are clicking on the correct part of the line.
  Review Authorizations: If you suspect that authorization issues might be causing the problem, check with your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary permissions to select the desired lines.
  Change Display Mode: If the transaction is in a display-only mode, try switching to an edit mode or a mode that allows selection.
  Refresh the Screen: Sometimes, simply refreshing the screen or reloading the transaction can resolve temporary glitches.
