  The SAP error message M8603 "No invoice items selected" typically occurs during the invoice verification process in the Materials Management (MM) module. This error indicates that the system could not find any items to process for the invoice you are trying to create or post. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  No Purchase Order (PO) Items: The invoice is being created without any associated purchase order items. This can happen if the PO was not created or if the items were not properly received.
  
  
  Incorrect Invoice Type: The invoice type being used may not be compatible with the items or the PO.
  
  
  Item Status: The items in the PO may have been fully invoiced or canceled, leading to no available items for invoicing.
  
  
  Document Type Issues: The document type for the invoice may not be set up correctly in the system.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used during the invoice verification process may not match any existing items.

  Check Purchase Orders: Verify that the relevant purchase orders exist and that they have items that are eligible for invoicing. Ensure that the items have been received and are in a status that allows for invoicing.
  
  
  Review Invoice Type: Ensure that you are using the correct invoice type that corresponds to the items you are trying to invoice.
  
  
  Check Item Status: Look at the status of the items in the purchase order. If they have already been fully invoiced or canceled, you will need to create a new invoice for any remaining items.
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria: If you are using specific selection criteria, ensure that they are set correctly to include the items you want to invoice.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings for the invoice document type and ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for the processing of the items.
