• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GU923 - No data exists in the tables for the selection criteria entered ?

  The SAP error message GU923 ("No data exists in the tables for the selection criteria entered") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires data from specific tables, but the selection criteria specified do not match any existing records in those tables. This can happen in various contexts, such as when generating reports, querying data, or performing data analysis.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria (such as date ranges, document numbers, or other filters) do not match any records in the database.
  Data Not Yet Available: The data you are trying to access may not have been entered into the system yet, especially in cases where data is expected to be populated from recent transactions.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the perception that no data exists.
  Data Deletion: Records may have been deleted or archived, making them unavailable for the current selection criteria.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the system or the specific module being used, leading to data not being retrieved correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and that you are not filtering out the data unintentionally.
  Broaden the Criteria: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria (e.g., by expanding date ranges or removing specific filters) to see if any data can be retrieved.
  Check Data Entry: Verify that the data you are looking for has been entered into the system. You may need to consult with colleagues or check transaction logs.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security team.
  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect that there may be a system configuration issue or if the problem persists, reach out to your IT support team or SAP Basis team for further investigation.
