• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OR008 - No objects were found for the selection entered ?

  The SAP error message OR008 ("No objects were found for the selection entered") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires specific selection criteria, but the criteria do not match any existing records in the database. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using reports, queries, or transaction codes that involve object selection.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria entered do not match any existing records. This could be due to:
  
  Typographical errors in the input fields.
  Using incorrect or outdated values (e.g., wrong material number, customer ID, etc.).
  Filters that are too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Data Not Available: The data you are trying to access may not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  Data not being created yet.
  Data being archived or deleted.
  Data being in a different status (e.g., not yet approved).
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain objects, leading to the appearance that no objects exist.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the retrieval of the expected data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the input values for any typographical errors or incorrect entries. Ensure that the values you are using are valid and exist in the system.
  
  
  Broaden the Search: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria. For example, remove certain filters or use wildcard characters to include more potential matches.
  
  
  Verify Data Existence: Check if the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by using other transactions or reports to see if the data is available.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the objects you are trying to view. If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security team.
