  The SAP error message EE_QD040, which states "No data found to match chosen selection," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction in SAP but the system cannot find any data that meets the specified selection criteria. This can happen in various contexts, such as when running reports, queries, or data retrieval transactions.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria entered by the user do not match any existing records in the database. This could be due to:

  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance that no data exists.

  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect that the issue may be related to system configuration or data deletion, reach out to your IT support team for assistance.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the report you are using is not yielding results, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need.
