  The SAP error message 5R159 ("There is no data to display, please check your exclude selection screen") typically occurs when you are trying to execute a report or transaction in SAP, but the system does not find any data that meets the criteria specified in your selection screen. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The criteria you have entered in the selection screen may be too restrictive, leading to no data being returned. This could include date ranges, specific values, or other filters that exclude all available data.
  
  
  Data Availability: There may simply be no data available in the system for the specified criteria. This could be due to data not being entered, or it may have been archived or deleted.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, which can lead to the appearance of no data being available.
  
  
  Incorrect Exclusion Settings: If you have set up exclusion criteria incorrectly, it may inadvertently filter out all data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Go back to the selection screen and review the criteria you have entered. Try broadening the filters or removing some of the criteria to see if data appears.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data in the system that should meet your criteria. You can do this by running a different report or transaction that does not have the same restrictions.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the data. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Adjust Exclusion Settings: If you are using exclusion criteria, double-check that they are set up correctly. Make sure that you are not excluding all possible data inadvertently.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the selection criteria or the report you are running, consult the relevant SAP documentation or help files for guidance.
