  The SAP error message "51097 No data selected" typically occurs when a query or report is executed, but the system does not find any data that meets the specified selection criteria. This can happen in various SAP modules, including SAP ERP, SAP BW, and others.
  Causes:
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria defined in the report or query do not match any records in the database. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect date ranges.
  Filters that are too restrictive.
  Missing or incorrect values in the selection fields.
  
  
  
  Data Availability: There may simply be no data available in the system for the specified criteria. This could be due to:
  
  Data not being loaded or updated in the system.
  Data being archived or deleted.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to no data being displayed.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or the query itself.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and not too restrictive. Adjust the filters to broaden the search if necessary.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by running a different report or query that does not have the same selection criteria.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect a technical issue, consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team to check for any underlying problems with the database or the SAP system.
