• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY148 - Select an item ?

  SAP Error Message: WTY148 - "Select an item"
  
  Cause:
  The error message WTY148 - Select an item typically occurs in SAP when a user is required to select an item from a list or table but has not done so before proceeding. This is common in transaction screens or selection dialogs where the system expects the user to explicitly choose one or more entries (e.g., line items, documents, materials) to continue with the process.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute or proceed without selecting any item in a list or grid.
  In warranty processing, service management, or other modules where item selection is mandatory.
  During processing of multiple entries where the system needs to know which specific item(s) to work on.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select at least one item from the list or table before continuing.
  Check the screen or dialog for checkboxes, radio buttons, or highlighted rows that need to be selected.
  If the selection is done via a button or menu, ensure the correct item is highlighted or marked.
  If the screen is custom or enhanced, verify that the selection logic is working correctly and that the UI allows item selection.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a standard prompt to ensure user input completeness.
  It helps prevent processing errors by making sure the user explicitly confirms which data to process.
  If you encounter this message unexpectedly, verify that the UI elements for selection are visible and functioning.
  In some cases, authorization or UI issues might prevent selection; check user permissions and screen layout.
  The message class is usually WTY (Warranty or Service Management related), but the principle applies broadly.
  
  
  Example:
  In a warranty claim processing screen, you might see a list of returned parts. Before you can proceed to create a credit memo or process the claim, you must select the part(s) involved. If you click "Next" or "Process" without selecting any part, SAP will show WTY148 - Select an item.
