  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHU01055 - Cut one item before executing this function
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the Vehicle Management System (VMS) or related SAP modules when you attempt to perform a function that requires a specific item (such as a vehicle or document item) to be selected or "cut" (marked for processing) before proceeding. The system expects the user to select or cut an item first, but no item has been selected, so it cannot continue.
  In other words, the function you are trying to execute requires an active item context, and since none is selected, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The term "cut" here refers to selecting or marking an item in the list or table.
  The function you are trying to execute depends on the context of a selected item.
  Without selecting an item, the system does not know which record to process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select (Cut) an Item First:
  
  Before executing the function, make sure to select or highlight the relevant item in the list or table. This is often done by clicking on the item or using a "cut" or "select" button/icon.
  
  
  Check User Interface:
  
  Ensure that the UI element that allows item selection is visible and functional. Sometimes, UI issues or customizations might hide or disable the selection option.
  
  
  Follow the Correct Process Flow:
  
  Review the process steps in the transaction or application. The error indicates that the function is being called out of sequence. Make sure you follow the correct order: select item ? execute function.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Help:
  
  If unsure which item to select, refer to the SAP documentation or help for the specific transaction or module you are working with.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in SAP Vehicle Management System (VMS) or similar modules where multiple items (vehicles, documents, etc.) are processed.

  Summary:
  
  Cause: No item selected ("cut") before executing a function that requires an item context.
