• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message N2M142 - No data found in internal table (internal error) ?

  The SAP error message N2M142, which states "No data found in internal table (internal error)," typically indicates that a program or transaction is attempting to access data from an internal table that is either empty or not populated as expected. This can occur in various scenarios, often related to custom developments, reports, or standard transactions that rely on internal tables to process data.
  Causes:
  
  Empty Internal Table: The internal table being accessed does not contain any data. This could be due to a lack of data in the database or a filtering condition that results in no records being selected.
  Incorrect Logic in ABAP Code: If the error arises from a custom ABAP program, there may be a logical error in the code that prevents data from being populated into the internal table.
  Data Selection Issues: The selection criteria used to populate the internal table may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no records being fetched.
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the underlying database, such as missing data or connectivity problems.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data, resulting in an empty internal table.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you expect to be in the database actually exists. Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant database tables.
  Review Selection Criteria: If you are using a custom report or program, review the selection criteria to ensure they are correct and not overly restrictive.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, use the debugger to step through the program and check where the internal table is being populated. Look for any conditions that might prevent data from being added.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Consult SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that might address this specific error or provide patches or updates.
