This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to display or process purchase orders, materials, or other related data.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Table: The most straightforward cause is that the specified table (denoted by &1 in the error message) is indeed empty. This could be due to a lack of data entry or data not being created yet.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to query the table may be too restrictive, leading to no results being returned.
