  The SAP error message /BCV/SIN021 No values found; check system, InfoProvider, and your query typically indicates that a query executed in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) has returned no data. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for troubleshooting. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes
  
  
  No Data in InfoProvider: The InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) may not contain any data for the specified selection criteria.
  
  
  Incorrect Query Filters: The filters or selection criteria applied in the query may be too restrictive, leading to no data being returned.
  
  
  Data Load Issues: There may have been issues during the data loading process, resulting in missing or incomplete data in the InfoProvider.
  
  
  Time Period Selection: The time period selected in the query may not have any data available (e.g., selecting a future date).
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the InfoProvider.
  
  
  Query Design Issues: There may be issues with the design of the query itself, such as incorrect joins or aggregations.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Data in InfoProvider:
  
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and check if the InfoProvider contains data.
  Run a simple report or query against the InfoProvider to verify data availability.
  
  
  
  Review Query Filters:
  
  Examine the filters applied in the query. Try removing or adjusting them to see if data can be retrieved.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Load:
  
  Check the data load process in the Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1) to ensure that data has been successfully loaded into the InfoProvider.
  Look for any error messages or warnings in the data load monitor.
  
  
  
  Adjust Time Period:
  
  Ensure that the time period selected in the query corresponds to a period where data exists.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoProvider and the data within it.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  If you have access to the query designer, review the query structure for any potential design issues.
  Check for any incorrect joins or aggregations that might be affecting the results.
