  The SAP error message G3571, which states "The extract file has no data records," typically occurs during the data extraction process when the system is unable to find any data to extract based on the specified criteria. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the extraction of data for reporting or data transfer processes.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there are simply no records in the database that meet the selection criteria defined for the extraction.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The parameters or filters set for the extraction may be too restrictive, leading to no records being selected.

  Technical Issues: There may be issues with the data source or the extraction process itself, such as connectivity problems or configuration errors.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data in the source system that meets the extraction criteria. You can do this by running a query or report directly in the database.
  Review Selection Criteria: Reassess the selection parameters used for the extraction. Make sure they are not overly restrictive and that they align with the data you expect to extract.

  Check for Technical Issues: Investigate any potential technical issues that may be affecting the extraction process. This could include checking logs for errors or warnings.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the data being extracted. If not, appropriate authorizations should be granted.
