• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KW555 - No objects were selected ?

  The SAP error message KW555 ("No objects were selected") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly when working with reports or transactions that require the selection of specific objects (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) for processing. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  No Selection Criteria Provided: The user may not have selected any objects or criteria in the selection screen before executing the report or transaction.
  Invalid Selection: The selection criteria provided may not match any existing objects in the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or select the objects in question.
  Data Availability: There may be no data available for the selected criteria, leading to the error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Ensure that you have selected the appropriate objects in the selection screen. This may include cost centers, internal orders, or other relevant entities.
  If using multiple selection options, ensure that at least one valid option is selected.
  
  
  
  Review Object Availability:
  
  Verify that the objects you are trying to select actually exist in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant master data (e.g., cost centers, internal orders).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the objects you are trying to select. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  
  Data Check:
  
  Confirm that there is data available for the selected criteria. If the criteria are too specific or if there is no data for the selected period, you may need to broaden your selection.
  
  
  
  Use Default Values:
  
  If applicable, try using default values or broader selection criteria to see if that resolves the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
