• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26116 - No entries found for status log ?

  The SAP error message "26116 No entries found for status log" typically indicates that there are no entries available in the status log for the specific object or transaction you are trying to access. This can occur in various contexts, such as during the processing of a document, a transaction, or when trying to view logs related to a specific process.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Available: The most straightforward reason is that there are simply no entries recorded in the status log for the selected object or transaction.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The criteria you are using to filter the logs may not match any existing entries. This could be due to date ranges, object types, or other parameters.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view the status logs for the specific object or transaction.
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to log certain types of events or statuses, leading to an absence of entries.

  Consult System Configuration: If you suspect that logging is not enabled for certain processes, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator to check the configuration settings.
