  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VPKGUI021 - Select one or more lines ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VPKGUI021 Select one or more lines


    Cause:

    This error message typically appears in SAP when a user tries to perform an action (such as processing, deleting, or modifying) on a list or table without selecting any line/item first. The system expects at least one line to be selected to proceed with the operation, but none was selected.


    When does it occur?

    • In transaction codes or screens where multiple lines/items are displayed (e.g., delivery documents, packing lists, batch processing screens).
    • When the user clicks a button or triggers an action that requires line selection but no line is highlighted or checked.
    • Common in packing or shipping related transactions (e.g., VL02N, VL10, or packing transactions).

    Solution:

    1. Select one or more lines:
      Before executing the action, ensure that you select at least one line in the list or table. This can be done by:

      • Clicking the checkbox next to the line.
      • Highlighting the line by clicking on it.
    2. Check screen layout:
      Sometimes the selection column might be hidden or not visible due to screen layout or personalization. Make sure the selection column is visible.

    3. User training:
      Educate users that certain actions require explicit line selection.

    4. Technical check (if applicable):
      If the error occurs even after selecting lines, it might be a UI or program issue:

      • Check for any custom enhancements or user exits that might interfere with line selection.
      • Debug the program to verify if the selection data is correctly passed.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: VPKGUI (related to packing and shipping GUI)
    • Common Transactions: VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), VL10 (Purchase Orders Due for Delivery), packing transactions.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes for any known bugs related to this message in your SAP version.
    • User Interface: This message is often triggered in the SAP GUI or Web GUI packing screens.

    Summary:

    • Cause: No line selected when required.
    • Solution: Select one or more lines before proceeding.
    • Additional: Verify UI elements and check for custom code if problem persists.
