  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message I0013 - Cursor was not on a selectable line ?

    The SAP error message "I0013 Cursor was not on a selectable line" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action (like selecting a row or executing a function) in a list or table where the cursor is not positioned on a valid or selectable line. This can happen in various SAP transactions or reports where lists are displayed.

    Cause:

    1. Cursor Position: The most common cause is that the cursor is not positioned on a row that can be selected. This can happen if the user clicks on an empty area of the screen or on a header line that does not represent a selectable entry.
    2. List Format: The list may be formatted in such a way that certain lines (like totals or headers) are not selectable.
    3. User Interface Issues: Sometimes, the user interface may not respond correctly due to a temporary glitch or a problem with the SAP GUI.

    Solution:

    1. Reposition the Cursor: Ensure that the cursor is positioned on a valid line that can be selected. Click directly on the line you wish to select.
    2. Check for Selectable Lines: Review the list to ensure that the line you are trying to select is indeed selectable. Look for any indicators or formatting that might suggest certain lines are not selectable.
    3. Refresh the Screen: If you suspect a temporary glitch, try refreshing the screen or navigating away and back to the transaction.
    4. Use Keyboard Navigation: Instead of using the mouse, try using the keyboard (e.g., arrow keys) to navigate to the desired line and then perform the action.
    5. Check for Filters: If there are filters applied to the list, ensure that they are not excluding the line you are trying to select.
    6. Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or report you are using.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
