  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the user attempts to create or process a document that contains either:
  
  No line items (0 line items), or

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Line Item Count: Ensure that the document you are trying to process has at least 1 line item and no more than 10 line items. If you have more than 10 line items, consider splitting the document into multiple transactions.
  
  
  Review Document Type Configuration: If you believe that the number of line items should be higher than 10, you may need to review the configuration settings for the document type in question. This may require access to the SAP configuration settings (transaction SPRO) and possibly the assistance of an SAP administrator or consultant.
  
  
  Adjust Input Data: If you are using an interface or a program to upload data, ensure that the data being sent adheres to the line item restrictions. Modify the input data accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using to understand any limitations or requirements regarding line items.

  User Exits or BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might be enforcing this restriction.
