This error typically arises in the context of compliance reporting, particularly in countries that require the SAF-T format for tax audits.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to generate the report may be too restrictive, resulting in no documents being selected.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the SAF-T reporting in the SAP system, such as missing settings or incorrect mappings.
  Document Status: The documents that should be included may not be in the correct status (e.g., they may be in a draft state or not yet posted).
  Authorization Issues: The user generating the report may not have the necessary authorizations to access the documents.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there are indeed financial documents available for the specified period. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (e.g., FB03 for document display).
