    SAP Error Message: WP767
    Message Text:
    Please position cursor on a line that is not empty
    
    
    Cause: This error occurs when you try to perform an action (such as editing, deleting, or processing) on a line in a SAP screen (often in HR or Payroll infotypes, or other line-based data entry screens) that is empty or does not contain any data. The system expects the cursor to be positioned on a valid, non-empty line to proceed with the requested operation. For example, in personnel administration infotypes or payroll results, if you try to change or delete a line but the cursor is on a blank line (no data), the system cannot identify which record to process and throws this error. When does it typically occur? When editing or deleting entries in infotype screens (e.g., PA30). When processing payroll or time data and selecting lines. When using line-based selection or modification
