• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IL515 - No functional locations were selected based on the criteria entered ?

  The SAP error message IL515 ("No functional locations were selected based on the criteria entered") typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction or report that requires the selection of functional locations, but the criteria you have entered do not match any existing functional locations in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The criteria you have entered (such as plant, location type, or other filters) do not match any functional locations in the database.
  Missing Functional Locations: There may be no functional locations created in the specified plant or area.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain functional locations.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies or issues in the master data that prevent the system from retrieving the functional locations.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the criteria you have entered in the selection screen. Ensure that they are correct and relevant to the functional locations you are trying to access.
  Try broadening your search criteria to see if any functional locations can be retrieved.
  
  
  
  Verify Functional Locations:
  
  Use transaction code IL03 (Display Functional Location) to check if the functional locations exist in the system.
  If you are looking for functional locations in a specific plant, ensure that the plant is correctly specified and that functional locations exist for that plant.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the functional locations. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
