  The SAP error message M7289 "No material contained in selection" typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction or report that requires a selection of materials, but the system cannot find any materials that meet the specified criteria. This can happen in various contexts, such as inventory management, material master data, or reporting.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have entered may not match any existing materials in the system. This could be due to incorrect material numbers, plant codes, or other parameters.
