• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AT_T005 - No master exists for selection ?

  The SAP error message AT_T005 "No master exists for selection" typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a master record (such as a material master, vendor master, or customer master), but the system cannot find the relevant master data for the selection criteria you provided.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Master Data: The most common cause is that the required master data does not exist in the system. For example, if you are trying to create a purchase order for a material that has not been created in the material master, you will encounter this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using may not match any existing master records. This could be due to typos, incorrect codes, or filters that exclude the relevant records.
  
  
  Data Deletion: The master data might have been deleted or marked for deletion, making it unavailable for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the master data, leading to this error.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the master data from being recognized or accessed properly.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Verify that the required master data exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like MM03 (for material master), XK03 (for vendor master), or FD03 (for customer master) to check if the record is available.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using. Ensure that there are no typos and that you are using the correct codes or identifiers.
  
  
  Create Missing Master Data: If the master data does not exist, you may need to create it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., MM01 for material master, XK01 for vendor master).
  
  
  Check Deletion Flags: If the master data exists but is marked for deletion, you may need to remove the deletion flag or create a new record.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the master data. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to recognize the master data.
