• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_IB057 - Selection criteria not sufficient ?

  The SAP error message CRM_IB057 "Selection criteria not sufficient" typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires specific selection criteria, but the criteria provided are not adequate to retrieve the desired data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Insufficient Selection Criteria: The most common cause of this error is that the selection criteria entered by the user do not narrow down the data sufficiently.

  Missing Mandatory Fields: Certain reports or transactions may require specific fields to be filled in. If these mandatory fields are left blank, the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Data Availability: There may be no data available that meets the selection criteria provided. This can happen if the criteria are too restrictive or if there is no data in the system that matches the criteria.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that you have provided enough information to allow the system to retrieve the relevant data. Consider adding more filters or broadening your search parameters.
  
  
  Fill Mandatory Fields: Make sure that all mandatory fields are filled in. Review the documentation or help text associated with the report or transaction to identify which fields are required.
  
  
  Test with Broader Criteria: If you are unsure about the correct criteria, try running the report with broader or less restrictive criteria to see if any data is returned. Gradually refine your criteria based on the results.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data in the system that matches your criteria. You may need to consult with your data management team or check the relevant tables to ensure that the data exists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or report you are using. There may be specific guidelines or examples that can help you understand the required selection criteria.
