• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_SIS_RECON040 - Nothing to do; no overlap between project definition and selection ?

  The SAP error message FINS_SIS_RECON040 ("Nothing to do; no overlap between project definition and selection") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Project System (PS) or when working with the SAP Financial Information System (FIS). This error indicates that there is no overlap between the project definition you are trying to analyze and the selection criteria you have specified.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Project Definition: The project definition you are trying to analyze does not match the selection criteria (e.g., date range, project status, etc.) you have set.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria may be too restrictive or incorrectly defined, leading to no data being available for the specified project.
  Inactive or Closed Projects: The project you are trying to analyze may be inactive or closed, which means it won't show any data in the report.
  Data Not Yet Posted: If the project is new, there may not be any financial postings or data available yet.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have set for the report. Ensure that they align with the project definition you are analyzing. Adjust the date range, project status, or other filters as necessary.
  Verify Project Definition: Ensure that the project definition you are using is correct and active. You can do this by navigating to the project in the Project System and checking its status.
  Check for Data: Make sure that there are actual postings or data available for the project. If the project is new, you may need to wait until data is posted.
  Consult with Project Manager: If you are unsure about the project definition or the data available, consult with the project manager or the person responsible for the project to clarify any discrepancies.
  Use Broader Selection Criteria: If possible, try using broader selection criteria to see if any data appears. This can help identify if the issue is with the selection criteria itself.
