• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW259 - No operations selected for printing. All operations selected again ?

  The SAP error message IW259: "No operations selected for printing. All operations selected again." typically occurs in the context of work order processing, particularly when trying to print operations related to maintenance orders or production orders. This message indicates that the system did not find any operations that meet the criteria for printing.
  Causes:
  
  No Operations Available: The work order may not have any operations assigned to it, or the operations may not be in a status that allows them to be printed.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for printing may not match any existing operations. This could be due to filters applied in the print program.

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the print program or the output type settings.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the operations for printing.
