  Causes:

  Typographical errors in the input fields.
  Using filters that are too restrictive.
  Searching for data that does not exist in the system.
  
  
  
  Data Not Yet Created: The data you are trying to access may not have been created yet. For example, if you are looking for a material that has not been added to the system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance that no data exists.
  
  
  Data Deletion: The data you are trying to access may have been deleted or archived.

  Check Data Existence: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking other related transactions or reports.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security administrator.
