• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQV260 - No data was selected ?

  The SAP error message AQV260 "No data was 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 contexts, such as when running reports, executing queries, or using transaction codes that involve data retrieval.
  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 database for the specified criteria. This could be due to:
  
  Data not being entered or updated in the system.
  Data being archived or deleted.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to no results being displayed.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database connection or issues with the query itself.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and not too restrictive. Try broadening the criteria to see if any data is returned.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using other reports that might provide insights into the data.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect a technical issue, reach out to your IT support team or SAP Basis team to investigate any potential problems with the database or the SAP system.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the report or query you are using consistently returns no data, consider using alternative reports or transaction codes that might provide the information you need.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you might be using specific transaction codes (e.g., SE16 for table display, or specific reporting transactions) that could be relevant to the data you are trying to access.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific transaction or report you are using. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific report or query to understand the expected input and output, as well as any prerequisites for data availability.
