• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP414 - Position the cursor on an entry ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP414 - Position the cursor on an entry
  
  Cause:
  The message WXP414 typically appears in SAP Web Dynpro applications or SAP GUI when an action requires the user to select or position the cursor on a specific entry (e.g., a row in a table or a list item) before proceeding. This means the system expects the user to highlight or focus on a particular entry to perform the next step, but no entry is currently selected.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The application or transaction expects a user interaction on a list or table control.
  The user has not selected any row or entry.
  The system cannot proceed without knowing which entry the user wants to work with.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select an entry: Position the cursor or highlight the desired entry in the list or table before triggering the action.
  Check UI controls: Ensure that the UI element (table, list, etc.) allows selection and that the user has indeed selected an entry.
  User guidance: If this is a custom application, consider adding instructions or disabling buttons until an entry is selected to prevent this error.
  Technical check: If the error occurs unexpectedly, verify that the UI element is correctly bound and that the selection event is properly handled in the code.
