• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/EPM_BP004 - No records found ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/EPM_BP004 No records found typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when a request is made to retrieve business partner data, but no records are found that match the criteria specified in the request.
  Causes:
  
  No Matching Data: The most straightforward cause is that there are genuinely no business partner records that match the filter criteria specified in the OData request.
  Incorrect Filter Criteria: The request may include incorrect or overly restrictive filter parameters, leading to no results being returned.
  Authorization Issues: The user making the request may not have the necessary authorizations to view the business partner data.
  Data Not Yet Created: If the business partner data has not been created or has been deleted, this error will occur.
  Service Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the OData service configuration or the underlying data model.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Existence: Verify that the business partner records exist in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant tables (e.g., BUT000 for general data) in the SAP GUI.
  Review Filter Criteria: Ensure that the filter criteria used in the OData request are correct and not too restrictive. Test the request with broader criteria to see if any records are returned.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the business partner data. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  Service Activation: Make sure that the OData service is properly activated in the SAP Gateway. You can check this in transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  Debugging: If you have access, you can debug the OData service to see how the request is being processed and where it might be failing.
  Check Service Implementation: If you are a developer, review the implementation of the OData service to ensure that it is correctly fetching data from the backend.
