  The SAP error message KV631 ("Function not possible for totals lines") typically occurs in the context of working with reports or transactions that involve line items and totals in SAP. This error indicates that the operation you are trying to perform is not applicable to total lines, which are summary lines that aggregate data from multiple line items.
  
  Cause:
  
  Total Lines: The error arises when you attempt to perform an action (like editing, deleting, or processing) on a total line in a report or transaction where such actions are not allowed.
  Report Configuration: The report or transaction may be configured to display totals, but the underlying logic does not support operations on these summary lines.
