  The SAP error message CKBA159 "No values could be selected" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when working with cost estimates or when trying to execute certain reports or transactions that require selection criteria.
  Cause:
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The most common cause of this error is that the selection criteria you have entered do not match any existing records in the database. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect or overly restrictive filters (e.g., date ranges, cost centers, or material numbers).
  No data available for the specified criteria in the selected period or for the selected objects.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to no records being displayed.
  
  
  Data Availability: The data might not have been posted yet, or it may have been archived or deleted.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues with the configuration of the controlling area or the cost elements that prevent data from being selected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 records can be retrieved.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data available for the specified criteria. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using other reports to see if data exists.
  
  
  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 Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP CO configuration team to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the issue persists, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need without encountering the error.
