• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01150 - Select a text item to execute this function ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHU01150 - Select a text item to execute this function
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to execute a function (such as editing, displaying, or processing) that requires a specific text item to be selected, but no text item is currently selected in the user interface. In SAP, certain functions related to text management (e.g., in vehicle history, sales documents, or other master data texts) require the user to first highlight or select a particular text line or item before proceeding.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When working with text management screens (e.g., vehicle history texts in SAP Vehicle Management System (VMS), sales document texts, or other master data texts).
  When trying to edit, delete, or perform any action on a text without selecting the relevant text line.
  In transaction codes or applications where multiple text entries are displayed and the system expects a user to select one before continuing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select a Text Item:
  
  Before executing the function (e.g., edit, delete, display), click on the specific text line or item you want to work with. This selection is mandatory for the system to know which text entry you want to process.
  
  
  Check UI for Selection:
  
  Ensure that the text list or text overview screen is active and that a text item is highlighted (usually by clicking on it once).
  
  
  If No Text Exists:
  
  If the list is empty, you may need to create a new text item first before you can execute functions related to text editing or processing.
  
  
  Review User Actions:
  
  Make sure you are following the correct sequence of steps as per the business process or SAP application guide.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a standard prompt to prevent users from performing actions without specifying the target text.
  It helps avoid errors or unintended changes by ensuring the user explicitly selects the text item.
  If you encounter this message frequently and believe you are selecting the text correctly, check for UI issues or custom enhancements that might interfere with selection.
  In some cases, SAP GUI or screen layout issues might prevent proper selection; restarting the session or clearing GUI cache might help.
