• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMFG086 - When processing &1, the &2 selection criteria are not taken into account. ?

  The SAP error message FMFG086 indicates that during the processing of a certain function (usually related to financial management or funds management), the selection criteria specified (denoted as &2) are not being considered for the specified object (denoted as &1). This can occur in various contexts, such as when executing reports, transactions, or programs that involve selection criteria for data retrieval.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria provided may not be valid for the context in which they are being applied. This could be due to incorrect field values or incompatible data types.
  Missing Data: The data that the selection criteria are supposed to filter may not exist in the database, leading to the criteria being ignored.
  Program Logic: The underlying program logic may not be designed to handle the specified selection criteria, resulting in them being disregarded.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data that matches the selection criteria, causing them to be ignored.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are valid and applicable to the data you are trying to retrieve.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to filter actually exists in the system. You can do this by running a broader query without selection criteria to see if the data is present.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, consider debugging the program to see how it processes the selection criteria. This can help identify if there is a logical error in the code.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific transaction or report you are using to ensure that you are using the correct selection criteria.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If not, contact your system administrator to resolve any authorization issues.
