  The SAP error message GLE_MCA557, which states "Select a run ID to display," typically occurs in the context of the SAP General Ledger (GL) or during the execution of certain financial reports or processes where a run ID is required to retrieve specific data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Run ID: The most common cause of this error is that the user has not selected a run ID from the available options. The run ID is necessary to identify a specific execution of a process (like a closing run or a report generation).

  Execute the Process: If you are trying to view results from a process that has not been run yet (e.g., a closing process), you will need to execute that process first to generate a run ID.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to access the run IDs. If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security administrator.
  Refresh the List: Sometimes, the list of run IDs may not refresh automatically. Try refreshing the screen or navigating away and back to the relevant section to see if the run IDs appear.
