• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ585 - Select a line ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ585 - Select a line
  
  Cause:
  The message WZ585 - Select a line typically appears when a user is expected to select a line item from a list or table in an SAP transaction but has not done so. This is a warning or error prompting the user to make a selection before proceeding.
  This situation often occurs in transactions or screens where multiple line items are displayed, and the system requires the user to explicitly select one or more lines to perform an action (e.g., change, delete, display details).
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to execute an action (like edit, delete, or process) on a list of items without selecting any line.
  In various SAP modules such as MM (Material Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), FI (Financial Accounting), or custom programs where line selection is mandatory.
  During processing of documents, reports, or batch jobs where line selection is required.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a line: Before proceeding, click on the checkbox or highlight the line item you want to work with.
  Check the screen: Look for selection options such as checkboxes, radio buttons, or row highlights.
  If multiple lines are allowed: Select the appropriate line(s) as required.
  If no lines are available: Verify if the list is populated correctly or if there is a filter or authorization issue preventing data display.
  If this is a custom program: Check the code logic to ensure that the selection mechanism is working properly and that the message is triggered only when no line is selected.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WZ (This is a custom or less common message class; standard SAP messages often have classes like ME, SD, FI, etc.)
  Message Type: W (Warning) — usually allows the user to correct the input.
  Transaction Context: Depends on the specific transaction or program where the message appears.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can search for message number WZ585 to find where it is triggered and understand the logic behind the selection requirement.
