• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBMAN131 - Due to the selection criteria for &, no records were read from & ?

  The SAP error message DBMAN131 indicates that no records were read from a database table due to the selection criteria specified in the query. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when running reports, executing transactions, or performing data extraction.
  Cause:
  The error message typically arises from one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Strict Selection Criteria: The selection criteria specified in the query may be too restrictive, leading to no matching records in the database.
  Empty Table: The table being queried may not contain any records at all.
  Incorrect Field Values: The values specified in the selection criteria may not exist in the database.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the records in the specified table.
  Data Deletion: Records may have been deleted from the database after the last successful query.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DBMAN131 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Check the selection criteria used in the query. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive and that they match the expected values in the database.
  If possible, try broadening the selection criteria to see if any records can be retrieved.
  
  
  
  Check Table Contents:
  
  Verify if the table being queried actually contains records. You can do this by executing a simple query without any selection criteria.
  
  
  
  Validate Field Values:
  
  Ensure that the values you are using in the selection criteria exist in the database. You can do this by checking the relevant fields in the database table.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Confirm that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the data in the specified table. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity:
  
  If records were expected but are missing, investigate whether there have been any recent data deletions or changes that could have affected the availability of the records.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to debugging tools, you can analyze the program or report that is generating the error to understand how the selection criteria are being constructed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using transaction codes like SE16 (Data Browser) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view table contents.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific report or transaction to understand the expected input and output.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the DBMAN131 error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
