• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MN827 - No data satisfying selection criteria & exists ?

  The SAP error message MN827 ("No data satisfying selection criteria & exists") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that retrieves data, but the selection criteria specified do not match any records in the database. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in inventory management or logistics.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria (such as date ranges, material numbers, plant codes, etc.) entered do not correspond to any existing records in the database.
  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 for a specific period, and no transactions have been recorded for that period, you will receive this error.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the perception that no data exists.
  Data Deletion: The data you are trying to access may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the current selection criteria.
  Incorrect Filters: Filters applied in the selection screen may be too restrictive, leading to no results being returned.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and that you are looking for the right data.
  Broaden the Criteria: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria. For example, if you are filtering by a specific date range, try removing the date filter or expanding the range.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are trying to access has been created. You can do this by checking other reports or transactions that might show the data.
  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 Support: If you suspect that data has been deleted or archived, consult with your IT support or SAP Basis team to check the status of the data.
  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 module, you may be using different transaction codes (e.g., MB51 for material documents, MB5B for stock on a specific date).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for guidance on the specific report or transaction to understand the expected input and output.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team for further investigation.
