This message indicates that the system did not find any accounts that have discrepancies or differences that need to be addressed.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Differences Found: The primary reason for this error is that the system has checked the specified accounts and found no discrepancies. This could be due to:
  
  All transactions have been properly cleared.
  There are no open items in the accounts being checked.
  The accounts have already been reconciled.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to identify accounts may not match any existing records. This could be due to:

  Wrong account numbers or account types.
  Filters applied that exclude all relevant accounts.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may be data entry errors in the transactions that were supposed to create differences.
