• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GK626 - No data found due to selection criterion for characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message GK626 ("No data found due to selection criterion for characteristic &1") typically occurs when a user is trying to retrieve data from a database or report, but the selection criteria specified do not match any existing records. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with characteristics in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or when querying data in other SAP modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria specified for the characteristic (denoted by &1) do not match any data in the database. This could be due to:
  
  Typographical errors in the selection values.
  Using a characteristic value that does not exist in the data set.
  Filters applied that are too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Data Not Loaded: If you are working with SAP BW, it could be that the data has not been loaded into the InfoProvider or that the data load has failed.
  
  
  Data Deletion: The data might have been deleted or archived, leading to the absence of records that meet the selection criteria.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, which can lead to the appearance of no data being available.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you have set for the characteristic. Ensure that:
  
  The values are correctly spelled and formatted.
  The values exist in the database.
  
  
  
  Data Load Verification: If you are using SAP BW, check if the data load process has been executed successfully. You can do this by:
  
  Checking the data load monitor (transaction code: RSA1).
  Verifying that the relevant InfoPackage has been executed and that there are no errors.
  
  
  
  Review Data Availability: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to directly query the database table associated with the characteristic to see if any data exists.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  Adjust Filters: If you are using filters in your report or query, consider relaxing them to see if data can be retrieved.
