  SAP Error Message: WA611 No table entry selected
  
  Cause:
  The error WA611 No table entry selected typically occurs when a user tries to perform an action that requires selecting an entry from a table or list, but no entry has been selected. This is common in SAP transactions or screens where multiple entries are displayed in a table control or ALV grid, and the system expects the user to select one or more rows before proceeding.
  In other words:
  
  The program or transaction expects at least one row or entry to be selected from a list/table, but the user has not selected any.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When clicking a button or executing a function that requires a selected row in a table control or ALV grid.
  When trying to edit, delete, or process a line item without selecting it first.
  In custom programs or standard SAP transactions that validate selection before processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select an entry:
  
  Before performing the action, make sure to select at least one row or entry in the table or list control.
  
  
  Check UI instructions:
  
  Look for any instructions or messages on the screen that indicate you need to select an entry.
  
  
  If you are a developer:  
  
  Ensure that the selection logic is correctly implemented in the program.
  Check that the selection table or internal table is properly populated and that the selection flag is set.
  Add proper error handling or user messages prompting the user to select an entry if none is selected.
  
  
  
  If the error occurs unexpectedly:  
  
  Verify if the table is populated correctly.
  Check for any authorization issues that might prevent data from being displayed or selected.
  Debug the program to see why the selection is not recognized.
