  Cause:
  
  No Data in Plan Structure: The most common cause is that the plan structure you are trying to access has not been populated with any planning data.
  Incorrect Plan Structure: You may be referencing the wrong plan structure or one that has not been set up correctly.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the specified plan structure.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Plan Structure: Verify that the plan structure you are trying to use is correctly defined and that it is the one you intend to work with.
  
  Go to the transaction code KP06 (for planning) or KP07 (for plan data display) to check if the plan structure has any entries.

  Check with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
