• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME284 - Scope of list & contains no routines with info record data (Please check) ?

  The SAP error message ME284, which states "Scope of list & contains no routines with info record data (Please check)," typically occurs in the context of purchasing and material management when you are trying to access or generate a report or list that is expected to include information related to purchasing info records.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Info Records Available: The most common cause of this error is that there are no purchasing info records available for the materials or vendors you are trying to query. This could be due to the fact that info records have not been created for the specific material/vendor combination.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using to generate the report may not match any existing info records. This could be due to filters applied in the selection screen that exclude all available records.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the info records, leading to the perception that there are none available.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues in the underlying data that prevent the system from retrieving the info records.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Info Records: Go to the transaction code ME11 (Create Info Record) or ME12 (Change Info Record) and check if there are existing info records for the material and vendor combination you are querying. If none exist, you will need to create them.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using in the report. Ensure that the criteria match the existing info records. Remove any unnecessary filters that might be excluding records.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the info records. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to investigate any underlying data problems.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the issue persists, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need without encountering the same error.
