• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0418 - No. &: The set & is empty ?

  The SAP error message G0418 ("No. &: The set & is empty") typically occurs when you are trying to execute a function or transaction that requires a set of data, but the specified set is empty. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with reports, queries, or data selections.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Data Set: The most common cause is that the data set you are trying to access or manipulate does not contain any entries. This could be due to filters applied that exclude all records or simply because there are no records that meet the criteria.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: If the selection criteria used to generate the set are too restrictive, it may result in an empty set.
  Data Not Yet Created: In some cases, the data you are trying to access may not have been created yet, especially in newly implemented systems or after data migrations.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to an empty result set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using different selection criteria.
  Review Selection Criteria: If you are using filters or selection criteria, review them to ensure they are not too restrictive. Adjust them as necessary to include the desired records.
  Data Creation: If the data is expected to be there but isn’t, ensure that the necessary data creation processes have been executed.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the data. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  Debugging: If you are a developer or have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the program to see where the data retrieval is failing.
