• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GD016 - No records with errors exist ?

  The SAP error message GD016 ("No records with errors exist") typically occurs in the context of data processing or data validation, particularly when using transaction codes related to data uploads, such as LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) or during the execution of batch input sessions.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Errors Found: The primary reason for this message is that the system did not find any records that had errors during the processing of the data. This can happen if:
  
  The data was processed successfully without any issues.
  The records that were supposed to have errors were either corrected before the validation or were not included in the processing batch.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: If you are trying to view error records but have set filters or selection criteria that do not match any existing records, you may receive this message.
  
  
  Data Not Yet Processed: If you are checking for errors immediately after a data upload or processing session, it is possible that the system has not yet completed the processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Processing Status: Ensure that the data processing or upload has been completed successfully. You can check the status of the batch input session or the LSMW execution log.
  
  
  Review Input Data: If you expected errors, review the input data to ensure that it contains records that should trigger validation errors. 
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria: If you are using filters or selection criteria to view error records, ensure that they are set correctly to capture the records you are interested in.
  
  
  Reprocess Data: If you suspect that there were errors that were not captured, you may want to reprocess the data or run the validation again to see if any issues arise.
  
  
  Check Logs: Look at the logs generated during the data processing to see if there are any warnings or messages that might indicate why no errors were found.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as LSMW, SM35 (for batch input sessions), and SLG1 (for application logs) to monitor and troubleshoot data processing.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or process you are working with.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to data uploads and error handling for more detailed guidance.
