  The SAP error message ACM_UI140 indicates that a specific data structure or table (referred to as &1 in the error message) does not contain any columns, which means there is no content to display in the user interface. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with custom applications, reports, or transactions that rely on data being present in a specific format.
  Causes:
  
  Empty Data Structure: The data structure or table being referenced is empty or has not been populated with any data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the application or report may be incorrect, leading to the system not retrieving any data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, resulting in an empty display.
  Data Source Issues: The underlying data source (like a database table or view) may not have any records due to data deletion or other issues.
  Filter Criteria: If there are filters applied to the data retrieval process, they may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being returned.
