• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT280 - Select a row ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT280 - Select a row
  
  Cause:
  The error message WT280 - Select a row typically occurs in SAP when the system expects the user to select a specific row from a list or table before proceeding, but no row has been selected. This is common in transaction screens or reports where multiple entries are displayed, and an action (such as edit, delete, or process) requires the user to explicitly select one or more rows.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you are working in a screen or report that displays multiple entries (e.g., worklists, batch input sessions, or document lists).
  When you try to execute an action that requires a row selection but you have not selected any row.
  Common in transactions related to Warehouse Management, Inventory, or other list processing screens.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a row: Before proceeding, click on the row you want to work with. Usually, this means clicking on the line item or marking the checkbox next to the row.
  Check for multiple selections: If the action requires selecting multiple rows, ensure you select all necessary rows.
  Use the correct selection method: Some screens require you to highlight the entire row, others require ticking a checkbox.
  If no rows are displayed: Check if the list is empty or if filters are applied that hide all rows. Adjust filters or data selection criteria to display rows.
  Screen navigation: Sometimes, the system expects you to navigate to a detail screen by selecting a row first.
