  Cause:
  
  
  No Historical Data: The most common cause of this error is that there are no historical records available for the material or production order in question. This could be due to:
  
  The material has not been used in any transactions that would generate historical data.
  Historical data has been archived or deleted.
  The data was never recorded due to configuration or process issues.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The user may be using incorrect selection criteria or filters that do not match any existing records.
  
  
  Data Archiving: If the system has been set up to archive historical data, it may have been moved to an archive and is no longer accessible in the standard transaction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material/Order Usage: Verify if the material or production order has been used in any transactions. If it has not, there will be no historical data to display.
