  The SAP error message EI495 "No data was found for the requested time period" typically occurs when a user attempts to retrieve data from a report or transaction, but the system does not find any records that match the specified criteria for the given time period. This can happen in various SAP modules, including SAP BW (Business Warehouse), SAP ERP, or other reporting tools.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Time Period: The specified time period in the report or query may not have any data. This could be due to a typo or an incorrect date range.
