  The SAP error message VBDRV084, which states "You have not selected any (batch) lines," typically occurs in the context of batch management or when processing sales orders, deliveries, or inventory management tasks that involve batch items. This error indicates that the system expects you to select one or more batch lines for processing, but none have been selected.
  Causes:
  
  No Batch Lines Available: There may be no available batch lines for the item you are trying to process. This can happen if the item is not batch-managed or if there are no batches available in stock.

  Select Batch Lines: If the interface allows, make sure to select the appropriate batch lines before proceeding with the transaction.
