• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER_UI102 - Please first select the table row containing the rule to be inserted ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WER_UI102 – "Please first select the table row containing the rule to be inserted"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to insert or add a rule in a table or a list control within an SAP UI (often in Web Dynpro or FPM applications) without first selecting an existing row in the table. The system expects you to select a specific row as a reference point for the insertion of the new rule or entry.
  In other words, the action you are trying to perform requires a context (a selected row), but no row is currently selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a row first: Before inserting or adding a new rule, click on the row in the table that should serve as the insertion point or reference.
  Check UI instructions: Sometimes the UI provides hints or instructions on which row to select or how to proceed.
  If no rows exist: If the table is empty, you may need to add the first row differently or check if the application allows insertion without selection.
  Check for UI bugs: If you have selected a row but still get the error, it might be a UI issue or a bug. Try refreshing the screen or restarting the transaction.
  Consult application documentation: Some custom or standard SAP applications have specific rules on how to insert rules or entries in tables.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in SAP Web Dynpro ABAP or Floorplan Manager (FPM) applications where tables or lists are used to manage rules or configurations.
  The message ID prefix WER_UI suggests it is related to Workflow or Rule Editor UI components.
  If you are a developer or consultant, check the UI element properties and event handlers to ensure the selection is properly captured before insertion.
  If this happens in a custom development, ensure that the code checks for a selected row before allowing insertion and provides user feedback accordingly.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  To resolve WER_UI102, always select the relevant table row before attempting to insert a rule. This ensures the system knows where to place the new entry. If problems persist despite selection, investigate UI behavior or consult SAP notes for your specific application component.
