• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0229 - Selection criteria specified do not give a result ?

  The SAP error message E0229, 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., date ranges, material 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 Filters: There may be filters applied in the report that limit the results, such as user-specific settings or default values.
  Incorrect Report Configuration: The report itself may be configured incorrectly, leading to no results being returned.
  
  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, try removing the date filter or expanding the date 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 different report or transaction that retrieves similar data without the restrictive criteria.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security team.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific report or transaction to ensure that you are using it correctly.
  Contact Support: If you have checked all of the above and still cannot resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
