  The SAP error message IDCFM_FRIM_MSG021, which states "No positions match selection criteria; change the selection criteria," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user is trying to retrieve or display positions (such as in a report or transaction) but the criteria they have set do not match any existing records in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria (such as date ranges, status, or other filters) specified by the user do not correspond to any existing positions in the system.
  Data Not Available: The data you are trying to access may not exist in the system for the specified criteria. This could be due to data not being entered, or it may have been archived or deleted.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain positions, leading to the impression that no data exists.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that limit the visibility of certain positions based on user roles or other parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and that you are not using overly restrictive filters. For example, if you are filtering by date, make sure the dates are correct and that there are indeed records for those dates.
  Broaden Criteria: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria to see if any records can be retrieved. For instance, remove some filters or use wildcard characters if applicable.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You may need to consult with a colleague or check the database directly.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the positions. If you suspect this is the issue, contact your SAP security administrator to verify your access rights.
