This message typically arises in the context of SAP's Industry Solution for Real Estate Management (IS-Retail) or similar modules where lists or reports are expected to contain data.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used to generate the list. Ensure that they are set correctly and are not overly restrictive.
  Data Availability: Verify that the data you expect to see is indeed present in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or transactions directly.
  Process Data: If the data is newly created, ensure that all necessary processing steps have been completed (e.g., posting, approvals).
  User Authorizations: Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to view the data. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the appropriate access.
  System Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to ensure that the system is configured correctly and that there are no issues with the underlying data model.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the program execution to see where it fails to retrieve data.
