How To Fix MW043 - No selection criteria taken into account

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MW - Messages IS-R / Allocation Tables

• Message number: 043

• Message text: No selection criteria taken into account

What causes this issue?

When group message records are deleted, all other selection criteria
are ignored. The runtime may be long.
&HINTS&
When you send notifications for allocation tables, message status
records are created in the system. These also have to be deleted. A
distinction is made between:
Status records for single messages
A single message record is created for each combination of material and
plant. When an allocation table is deleted, the associated single
message records are also deleted (see <DS:DE.RWSH_AUFT_DEL>"Allocation
table"</>).
Status records for group messages
Group message records are created when messages are bundled per plant
(transaction WA11). Since group message records can refer to more than
one allocation table, these records have to be deleted in a separate
program run.
A record can be deleted once all associated single message records have
been removed from the system.
