This error indicates that the system is trying to perform a reset operation on a maintenance order or notification, but there are no entries available to reset.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Existing Entries: The primary cause of this error is that there are no existing entries in the database for the maintenance order or notification you are trying to reset. This could happen if:
  
  The order or notification has not been created yet.
  The order or notification has already been completed or deleted.
  The order or notification is in a status that does not allow for a reset.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Transaction: You might be trying to perform a reset on the wrong order or notification, or you may have entered the wrong transaction code.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Order/Notification Status: Verify the status of the maintenance order or notification. Ensure that it is in a state that allows for a reset. If it has already been completed or closed, you may need to take a different action.

  Review Transaction Code: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for the operation you are trying to perform. Double-check the entry you are working with.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Confirm that you have the necessary authorizations to view and reset the entries. If not, contact your SAP administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction you are using and the expected workflow.
