• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_SE_BPS_COMMON018 - No supplier(s) found for this selection. ?

  The SAP error message "OPS_SE_BPS_COMMON018 No supplier(s) found for this selection" typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Planning and Simulation (BPS) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when a user attempts to execute a planning function or report that requires supplier data, but no suppliers meet the criteria specified in the selection.
  Cause:
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in the planning function or report may be too restrictive, leading to no suppliers being found. This could include filters based on specific characteristics or attributes that do not match any existing suppliers.
  Data Availability: There may be no supplier data available in the system for the selected planning area or time period. This could be due to data not being loaded or updated in the planning model.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data setup for suppliers, such as missing or incorrect entries in the master data tables.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access supplier data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used in the planning function or report. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive and that they align with the available supplier data.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that supplier data exists in the relevant planning area and time frame. You can do this by running a query or report that lists suppliers to confirm their presence.
  Validate Master Data: Ensure that the master data for suppliers is correctly maintained. Check for any missing or incorrect entries that could affect the selection.
  User Authorizations: Confirm that the user executing the function has the necessary authorizations to access supplier data. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the appropriate permissions.
  Data Load: If the supplier data is missing, ensure that the data load processes (e.g., data extraction, transformation, and loading) are functioning correctly and that the data is being loaded into the system as expected.
  
  Related Information:
