  The SAP error message B1139 ("No data relevant to audit were selected") typically occurs when you are trying to run an audit report or transaction that requires specific data to be available, but the system cannot find any relevant data to process. This can happen in various contexts, such as during financial audits, compliance checks, or data extraction for reporting purposes.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Relevant Data: The most straightforward cause is that there is simply no data in the system that meets the criteria set for the audit. This could be due to filters applied in the report or the absence of transactions in the specified period.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria (such as date ranges, company codes, or document types) may be too restrictive, leading to no data being selected.
  
  
  Data Not Updated: If the data has not been updated or posted correctly in the system, it may not be available for the audit.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to the perception that no data exists.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the audit-related modules that are not set up correctly, preventing data from being selected.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using for the audit. Ensure that the date ranges, company codes, and other filters are set correctly to include the relevant data.
  
  
  Verify Data Availability: Check if there are transactions or data entries in the system for the period you are auditing. You can do this by running other reports or queries to confirm data existence.
  
  
  Update Data: If you find that data is missing, ensure that all relevant transactions have been posted and that the data is up to date.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the data. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to grant the required access.
