This error indicates that the system could not find any materials that meet the criteria specified in the transaction or report you are trying to execute.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have entered (such as material number, plant, storage location, etc.) may not match any existing materials in the system.
  Material Master Data Issues: The materials you are looking for may not be created or may have been deleted or marked for deletion.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain materials.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If your system is integrated with other systems (like a legacy system or another SAP instance), there may be synchronization issues leading to missing data.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review and adjust the selection criteria you are using to ensure they are correct and relevant. Make sure you are searching in the right plant or storage location.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view the materials. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data synchronization issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your IT team to ensure that all systems are properly synchronized.
  Review Material Status: Check if the materials are marked as inactive or if they are blocked for certain transactions. You can do this in the material master data.
