• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5Z100 - Source table empty ?

  The SAP error message "5Z100 Source table empty" typically indicates that a specific source table required for a process or transaction is empty, meaning that there are no records available for the operation you are trying to perform. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during data extraction, reporting, or data processing tasks.
  Causes:
  
  No Data in Source Table: The most straightforward cause is that the source table genuinely has no data. This could be due to a lack of transactions or records that meet the criteria for selection.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to fetch data from the source table may be too restrictive, resulting in no records being returned.
  Data Deletion: Data may have been deleted from the source table due to business processes, data archiving, or other reasons.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent data from being populated in the source table.
  Timing Issues: If the process is run before data is loaded into the source table (e.g., in a batch job), it may result in this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Source Table: Verify the contents of the source table directly using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to see if there are any records present.
  Review Selection Criteria: If applicable, review and adjust the selection criteria to ensure they are not too restrictive.
  Data Load Verification: If the source table is supposed to be populated by a data load process, ensure that the data load has been executed successfully and that it has populated the table.
  Check for Deletions: Investigate if any data deletion processes have been executed that might have removed records from the source table.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or configuration settings related to the process you are executing to ensure everything is set up correctly.
  Run in Correct Sequence: If the process is part of a sequence of jobs, ensure that it is being executed in the correct order and that all prerequisite jobs have completed successfully.
