  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of the records you are trying to access. Ensure that they overlap with the selection period you are using in your query or transaction.
  
  
  Adjust Selection Period: If the validity periods are correct, consider adjusting your selection period to include the relevant dates.
  
  
  Data Correction: If you find that the validity periods are incorrect, you may need to correct the master data entries to ensure that the validity periods are set correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the validity periods or how to adjust them, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
