  The SAP error message IB_CONTR001: No contracts found typically occurs in the context of the SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or when dealing with contract management in SAP systems. This error indicates that the system could not find any contracts that match the criteria specified in the transaction or report you are trying to execute.
  Causes:
  
  No Contracts Created: There may be no contracts created in the system for the specified criteria (e.g., date range, vendor, customer).
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the transaction might be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no results being returned.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the contracts are supposed to be pulled from another system (like SAP S/4HANA or another ERP), there may be synchronization issues or data not being transferred correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the contracts.
  Filters Applied: There may be filters applied in the report or transaction that exclude the contracts you are looking for.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Contract Creation: Verify that contracts have been created in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., ME31K for purchasing contracts) and checking if any contracts exist.
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using. Ensure that the parameters (like date, vendor, etc.) are correct and not overly restrictive.
  Data Synchronization: If contracts are expected from another system, check the integration and data transfer processes to ensure that contracts are being sent and received correctly.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view the contracts. This may require checking with your SAP security team.
  Remove Filters: If you are using a report or transaction with filters, try removing them to see if any contracts appear.
