  The SAP error message QP862 ("First select a line") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) processes, particularly when you are trying to perform an action that requires a selection of a specific line item in a list or table, but no line has been selected.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the user attempts to execute a function (like processing a quality notification, inspection lot, etc.) without having selected a specific line item from a list. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Trying to display or edit details of a quality notification or inspection lot without selecting it first.
  Attempting to perform an action (like deleting or changing) on a line item without highlighting it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the QP862 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select a Line Item: Ensure that you have selected a line item in the relevant list or table before attempting to execute the action. Click on the line you want to work with to highlight it.
  
  
  Check for Filters: If you are using filters or search criteria, make sure that the list is populated with items. If no items are displayed, you will not be able to select any.
  
  
  Refresh the List: If you believe there should be items available, try refreshing the list or re-running the transaction to ensure that the data is up to date.
  
  
  Review User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict access to certain items. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and select the items you are trying to work with.
