  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR460 - Select a valid line
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR460 - Select a valid line typically occurs in SAP when you are working with transaction codes related to sales and distribution (SD), such as creating or changing sales documents (e.g., sales orders, deliveries, billing documents). It indicates that the system expects you to select a valid line item in a list or table, but either no line item is selected or the selected line item is invalid or incomplete.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Attempting to perform an action (e.g., copy, delete, change) on a line item without selecting any line.
  Selecting a line item that is not valid for the intended operation (e.g., a header line instead of an item line).
  The line item selected might be incomplete or missing mandatory data.
  The screen or UI element expects a line selection, but none is made.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VR460 - Select a valid line error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select a Line Item:
  
  Make sure you explicitly select a valid line item in the item overview or list before performing the action.
  Use the checkbox or highlight the line item as required by the transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Line Item Validity:
  
  Verify that the line item you select is complete and valid for the operation.
  Ensure mandatory fields in the line item are filled (e.g., material number, quantity).
  
  
  
  Use Correct UI Controls:
  
  Some screens require you to click on the line number or use a checkbox to select the line.
  Avoid selecting header lines or summary lines if the operation requires item-level selection.
  
  
  
  Refresh or Re-enter Data:
  
  If the line items are not displayed correctly, try refreshing the screen or re-entering the data.
  Sometimes, inconsistencies in the screen can cause the system not to recognize the selection.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements or User Exits:
  
  If the error persists, check if there are any custom validations or user exits that enforce line selection.
  Debug or consult with your SAP technical team if custom code is involved.
