• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK701 - Position the cursor on a request ?

  The SAP error message TK701 ("Position the cursor on a request") typically occurs in the context of transport requests in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system expects the user to select a specific transport request before proceeding with an action, such as releasing or managing the request.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  No Request Selected: The user has not selected any transport request in the transport management system (TMS) or the relevant transaction.
  Incorrect Cursor Position: The cursor is not positioned on a valid transport request line in the list.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to view or manage transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TK701 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select a Transport Request:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE09 or SE10 for transport requests).
  Ensure that you have a transport request displayed in the list.
  Click on the transport request to highlight it, ensuring the cursor is positioned on it.
  
  
  
  Check Cursor Position:
  
  Make sure that the cursor is directly on the line of the transport request you want to work with. Sometimes, clicking on the request itself rather than just the row can help.
  
  
  
  Verify User Permissions:
  
  If you are still facing issues, check with your SAP administrator to ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and manage transport requests.
