  The SAP error message GU724 ("Place cursor on valid line") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action (such as editing, deleting, or processing) on a line in a table or list that is not currently selected or is invalid. This can happen in various SAP transactions where lists or tables are displayed.

  Solution:
  
  Position the Cursor Correctly: Ensure that the cursor is placed directly on a valid line item in the table. Click on the row you wish to interact with.
  Check for Valid Rows: Make sure that the row you are trying to select is not a header or a summary line, as these are often not valid for editing.
