• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LOP179 - No entries found matching your selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message LOP179 ("No entries found matching your selection criteria") typically occurs when you are trying to execute a report or transaction that retrieves data, but the system cannot find any entries that match the criteria you have specified. This can happen in various contexts, such as inventory management, logistics, or other modules where data retrieval is necessary.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria you have entered do not match any existing records in the database. This could be due to incorrect dates, material numbers, plant codes, or other parameters.
  
  
  Data Not Yet Created: The data you are trying to access may not have been created yet. For example, if you are looking for inventory data, it may be that no stock has been posted for the selected materials.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance that no entries exist.
  
  
  Data Deletion: The data you are trying to access may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the current selection criteria.
  
  
  Filters Applied: There may be additional filters or settings in the report or transaction that are limiting the results.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that all fields are filled out correctly and that you are using the right values.
  
  
  Expand Date Ranges: If you are using date filters, try expanding the date range to see if any records exist outside of your initial selection.
  
  
  Check Data Existence: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking related transactions or reports.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security team.
  
  
  Consult with IT or SAP Support: If you have checked all the above and still cannot find the data, it may be helpful to consult with your IT department or SAP support for further investigation.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the report you are using is not yielding results, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using different transaction codes (e.g., MB52 for stock overview, MB5T for stock in transit, etc.). Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes for your area of interest.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific transaction or report you are using. SAP Notes can provide patches or workarounds for specific problems.
