• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_EBS157 - No IDocs were selected in the interval between &1 and &2 ?

  The SAP error message FKK_EBS157 indicates that no IDocs (Intermediate Documents) were selected for processing within the specified time interval. This error typically occurs in the context of Electronic Bank Statement (EBS) processing, where the system is trying to read IDocs for bank statement data but finds none that meet the criteria.
  Cause:
  
  No IDocs Available: There may simply be no IDocs generated or available in the specified time frame.
  Incorrect Date Range: The date range specified in the selection criteria may not correspond to any existing IDocs.
  IDoc Status: The IDocs may not be in a status that allows them to be processed (e.g., they may be in a status of 'error' or 'not processed').
  Filtering Criteria: Additional filtering criteria may be too restrictive, leading to no IDocs being selected.
  IDoc Processing Issues: There may be issues with the IDoc processing configuration or the connection to the source system that generates the IDocs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Availability: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to check if there are any IDocs available in the system for the specified date range. Ensure that IDocs exist and are in a processable status.
  Verify Date Range: Double-check the date range specified in the selection criteria. Ensure that it aligns with the dates of the IDocs you expect to process.
  Review IDoc Status: Ensure that the IDocs are in a status that allows them to be processed (e.g., status 30 - 'Ready for processing').
  Adjust Filtering Criteria: If you are using additional filters, consider relaxing them to see if any IDocs can be selected.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for EBS processing to ensure that everything is set up correctly, including the mapping of IDocs to the bank statement processing.
  Monitor IDoc Generation: If IDocs are not being generated, check the source system or the process that generates the IDocs to ensure it is functioning correctly.
