  The SAP error message DG498, which states "No function module assigned to determine the selection date," typically occurs in the context of data extraction or reporting processes where a selection date is required but not properly configured. This error is often related to the use of Data Warehousing or Business Intelligence tools within SAP, such as SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Module: The error indicates that there is no function module assigned to determine the selection date for the data extraction or reporting process. This can happen if the configuration for the data source or InfoProvider is incomplete.
  Incorrect Configuration: The data source or InfoProvider may not have been set up correctly, leading to the absence of a function module that is supposed to provide the selection date.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the function module may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Source Configuration:
  
  Go to the Data Source or InfoProvider in the SAP BW system.

  Assign Function Module:

  If you are unsure, consult with your SAP BW administrator or refer to the documentation for the specific data source.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects, including function modules, were included.
  If any objects are missing, you may need to re-transport them or manually create the necessary function module in the target system.
