  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G5164 - The line selected is not a user-defined additional line ?

    The SAP error message G5164, "The line selected is not a user-defined additional line," typically occurs in the context of financial documents, such as invoices or journal entries, when a user attempts to perform an action on a line item that is not recognized as a user-defined additional line. This can happen in various SAP modules, including FI (Financial Accounting) and CO (Controlling).

    Cause:

    1. Line Type: The line item you are trying to select may not be a user-defined additional line. SAP distinguishes between standard lines and user-defined lines, and this error indicates that the selected line does not meet the criteria for user-defined lines.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that define which lines are considered user-defined. If these settings are not correctly configured, it can lead to this error.
    3. Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may not allow user-defined additional lines, leading to this error when trying to manipulate such lines.
    4. User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or modify user-defined additional lines.

    Solution:

    1. Check Line Selection: Ensure that you are selecting a line that is indeed a user-defined additional line. Review the document to confirm the line type.
    2. Review Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings related to additional lines in the relevant SAP module. Ensure that the user-defined additional lines are properly configured.
    3. Document Type: Verify the document type you are working with. If it does not support user-defined additional lines, you may need to use a different document type or adjust your approach.
    4. User Permissions: Check if your user role has the necessary permissions to work with user-defined additional lines. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling additional lines in the context of the transaction you are working with.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., FB60 for vendor invoices, FB70 for customer invoices) to understand where this error might occur.
    • User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly use additional lines in SAP, including how to identify and select them correctly.
