• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FR804 - No documents exist for given selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message FR804 ("No documents exist for given selection criteria") typically occurs when you are trying to retrieve or display documents in the system, but the selection criteria you have provided do not match any existing documents. This can happen in various SAP modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), or others where document retrieval is necessary.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria (such as date range, document type, company code, etc.) are set incorrectly, leading to no matching documents.
  No Data Available: There may simply be no documents that meet the specified criteria in the database.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain documents, which can lead to this error.
  Data Archiving: If documents have been archived, they may not be available for retrieval under the current selection criteria.
  Incorrect Document Status: The documents you are trying to access may be in a status that does not allow them to be displayed (e.g., deleted or blocked).
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that the date range, document type, and other filters are correct and relevant.
  Expand Criteria: If possible, try to broaden your selection criteria to see if any documents can be retrieved. For example, remove date filters or use a wider range of document types.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view the documents. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator for assistance.
  Consult with IT/Support: If you suspect that documents have been archived or if there are other technical issues, consult with your IT department or SAP support team for further investigation.
  Use Alternative Reports: If the standard report or transaction is not yielding results, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need.
