• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0224 - Selection criteria specified do not give a result ?

  The SAP error message E0224, which states "Selection criteria specified do not give a result," typically occurs when a user runs a report or transaction and the selection criteria they have entered do not match any records in the database. This can happen in various SAP modules, such as SAP ERP, SAP BW, or others, depending on the context of the report or transaction.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the user has entered incorrect or overly restrictive selection criteria (e.g., dates, document numbers, customer IDs).
  Data Not Available: The data that the user is trying to retrieve may not exist in the system for the specified criteria.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to no results being returned.
  Data Deletion: The data may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the current selection criteria.
  Incorrect Filters: Filters applied in the report may be too strict or not aligned with the data available.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria entered. Ensure that all fields are filled out correctly and that the values are valid.
  Broaden Criteria: If the criteria are too specific, try broadening them. For example, if you are filtering by a specific date range, consider expanding the range.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by running a broader query or checking the relevant tables directly.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security team.
