• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01013 - Select an item ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHU01013 - Select an item
  
  Cause:
  The error message VHU01013 - Select an item typically occurs in SAP Vehicle Management System (VMS) or related vehicle handling transactions when the user is required to select an item (such as a vehicle, document, or list entry) before proceeding, but no item has been selected.
  This message is a prompt indicating that the system expects the user to make a selection from a list or table before continuing with the next step or action.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute a function or proceed without selecting any entry from a list or overview screen.
  For example, in vehicle handling transactions, if you are on a screen showing multiple vehicles or documents and you press a button (like "Change", "Display", or "Delete") without selecting any row/item, this message appears.
  It can also occur in other SAP modules or custom developments where a selection is mandatory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select an item: Go back to the screen where the list or table is displayed and select the appropriate item by clicking on the checkbox or row.
  Check the selection: Ensure that the item you want to process is highlighted or marked as selected.
  Proceed again: After selecting the item, execute the function or action again.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a standard prompt to prevent users from performing operations without specifying the target object.
  If you are automating or scripting SAP GUI actions, ensure that the selection step is included.
  If the message appears unexpectedly (e.g., you believe you have selected an item), check for UI issues or screen refresh problems.
  In some cases, authorization or screen layout issues might prevent selection; verify user permissions and screen configuration.
