This can happen in various transactions or reports where year-specific data is required.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Availability: The specified year (represented by &1) does not have any data in the dataset you are querying. This could be due to:
  
  The year not being posted yet.
  Data not being transferred or uploaded for that year.
  The year being outside the range of available data in the system.
  
  
  
  Fiscal Year Variant: The fiscal year variant settings may not include the specified year, or the fiscal year may not be properly configured.
  
  
  Period Locking: The periods for the specified year may be locked, preventing access to the data.
  
  
  Incorrect Input: The year may have been incorrectly entered in the transaction or report.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify if there is data for the specified year in the relevant tables. You can do this by checking the relevant reports or transactions in SAP.

  Correct Input: Double-check the input for the year in the transaction or report to ensure it is correct.
