• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_MM005 - No data found for this selection ?

  The SAP error message CMM_MM005 ("No data found for this selection") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires specific data, but the system cannot find any records that match the selection criteria provided. This can happen in various contexts, such as inventory management, material management, or other modules where data retrieval is necessary.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria (such as date range, material number, plant, etc.) are too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no matching records.
  Data Not Yet Created: The data you are trying to access may not have been created yet. For example, if you are looking for inventory data, it may not exist if no transactions have been posted.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance of no data being available.
  Data Archiving: If data has been archived, it may not be available for the current selection criteria.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent data from being retrieved correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using. Ensure that they are correct and not overly restrictive. Try broadening the criteria to see if any data is returned.
  Check Data Existence: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking related transactions or reports.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If not, contact your system administrator to review your access rights.
  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect that data archiving or system configuration issues are causing the problem, consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team for assistance.
  Use Alternative Reports: If the specific report or transaction is not yielding results, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help you access the data you need, such as MB51 (Material Document List) or MMBE (Stock Overview).
