  SAP Error Message: WT282
  Message Text:
  
  Position cursor on a line with materials inventory management
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform an operation (such as posting, changing, or processing) in a Warehouse Management (WM) transaction or a related inventory management screen, but the system requires you to first select or position the cursor on a line item that is linked to materials managed in Inventory Management (IM). Essentially, the system expects you to highlight or select a specific line that contains material data before proceeding.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  Attempting to post goods movements or transfer postings without selecting a material line.  
  Trying to process a transfer order or warehouse task where no material line is selected.  
  Working in transactions like LT0*, LT21, or other WM-related screens where line selection is mandatory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Position the cursor on a valid line: Before executing the next step or posting, make sure to click on or highlight a line item that contains material data managed in Inventory Management.  
  Check the line items: Verify that the line you select actually contains materials that are managed in IM (not just warehouse-managed stock without IM integration).  
  Refresh or reload the screen: If no lines appear, or the system does not allow selection, try refreshing the data or re-entering the transaction.  
  Check user input: Ensure that you have entered all required data correctly so that the system can display the relevant material lines.  
  Verify material master data: Confirm that the materials involved are properly maintained in the material master with WM and IM views activated.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transactions: This message is commonly encountered in WM transactions such as LT0*, LT21, LT24, or during transfer order processing.  
  Integration: The error highlights the integration point between Warehouse Management (WM) and Inventory Management (IM) modules in SAP.  
  SAP Notes: If the problem persists despite correct line selection, check for relevant SAP Notes or patches related to WM and IM integration.  
  User Training: Users should be trained to understand the importance of selecting the correct line item before posting or processing warehouse tasks.  
  Debugging: For developers or support consultants, debugging the program where WT282 is triggered can help identify if the system logic for line selection is working as intended.
