  The SAP error message WUF01016, which states "Select just one line (row)," typically occurs in scenarios where the system expects the user to select a single entry from a list or table, but multiple entries have been selected instead. This can happen in various SAP transactions or applications where a single selection is required for processing.

  Solution:
  
  Review Your Selection: Go back to the selection screen or list and ensure that you only select one row. Deselect any additional rows that may have been inadvertently selected.
  Use the Correct Functionality: If you need to perform an action on multiple rows, check if there is a different function or transaction that allows for batch processing or multiple selections.
  Refresh the Screen: Sometimes, the interface may not update correctly. Refresh the screen or navigate away and back to the selection to reset your choices.
  Check for Filters: If applicable, apply filters to narrow down your selection to a single row that you want to work with.
