  The SAP error message FAP_SPP042: No data was generated during the payment run typically occurs in the context of the payment processing module in SAP, particularly when executing a payment run in the Financial Accounting (FI) or Accounts Payable (AP) areas. This error indicates that the system did not find any relevant data to process for the payment run.
  Causes:
  
  No Open Invoices: There may be no open invoices or payment requests that meet the selection criteria defined for the payment run.
  Selection Criteria: The parameters set for the payment run (such as company code, payment method, payment date, etc.) may be too restrictive, resulting in no eligible items.
  Payment Block: Invoices may have payment blocks set, preventing them from being included in the payment run.
  Payment Method Configuration: The payment method may not be correctly configured or may not be applicable to the invoices.
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing any payments from being processed.
  Vendor Master Data: Issues with vendor master data, such as incorrect payment terms or blocked vendors, can also lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Open Invoices: Verify that there are open invoices or payment requests available for processing. You can do this by checking the relevant accounts in the Accounts Payable module.
  Review Selection Criteria: Reassess the selection criteria used in the payment run. Ensure that they are broad enough to include the invoices you want to pay.

  Verify Payment Method: Ensure that the payment method is correctly set up and applicable to the invoices you are trying to process.
