  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRPLCHK018 - You have not selected an activity
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you attempt to perform an operation (such as confirming, planning, or processing a work order or maintenance task) without selecting any activity from the list of activities available in the order or maintenance notification. Essentially, the system expects you to select at least one activity to proceed, but none was selected.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  While confirming a maintenance order or operation.
  When trying to process or plan activities in a maintenance order.
  During time confirmation or when entering actual work done on an order.
  In the context of Plant Maintenance (PM) or Project System (PS) modules where activities/tasks are involved.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select an Activity:
  
  Go back to the screen where the activities are listed.
  Make sure to select at least one activity (operation/task) before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Check the Activity List:
  
  Verify that the activities are correctly created and assigned to the order.
  If no activities exist, create the necessary activities or operations in the order.
  
  
  
  User Interface Check:
  
  Sometimes the selection might not be obvious (e.g., a checkbox or a line selection).
  Ensure you are correctly marking/selecting the activity as required by the transaction.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and select activities.
  Lack of authorization might cause activities not to appear or be selectable.
  
  
  
  Technical Check:
  
  If the activities are present but still not selectable, check for any custom enhancements or user exits that might interfere with the selection process.
  Review any validation or substitution rules that might restrict activity selection.
