  Run Reports: Use relevant reports (e.g., FM reports) to identify if there are any objects that should be eligible for settlement. This can help you understand if there are indeed no objects or if the issue lies with the selection criteria.
  Configuration Check: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP administrator or a consultant to review the Funds Management configuration settings.
