• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KN152 - Position cursor on column header ?

  The SAP error message KN152 ("Position cursor on column header") typically occurs in the context of the SAP GUI when a user is trying to perform an action that requires them to select a specific column in a table or list, but they have not positioned the cursor correctly on the column header.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the user attempting to execute a function (like sorting, filtering, or displaying details) without first clicking on the header of the column they wish to interact with. The SAP system requires the cursor to be positioned on the column header to understand which column the user intends to work with.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Position the Cursor: Move your mouse pointer to the header of the column you want to interact with. Click on the header to ensure the cursor is correctly positioned.
  
  
  Retry the Action: After positioning the cursor on the column header, try to perform the action again (e.g., sorting, filtering, etc.).
  
  
  Check for Column Visibility: Ensure that the column you are trying to interact with is visible. If it is hidden, you may need to adjust your view settings to display it.
  
  
  Refresh the Screen: If the issue persists, try refreshing the screen or navigating away and back to the transaction to reset the interface.
