  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Data: The most common cause of this error is that there are no sales units available in the source data that you are trying to import. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect or incomplete data in the source system.
  Filters applied that exclude all sales units.
  Data not being properly extracted or transformed before the import.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the IBP/APO settings that prevent the system from recognizing or importing the sales units.
  
  
  Data Mapping Issues: If the mapping between the source data and the target system is incorrect, it may lead to the system not finding any sales units to import.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or import the sales units.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Source Data: Verify the source data to ensure that there are indeed sales units available for import. Look for any filters or conditions that might be excluding data.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the IBP/APO system to ensure that everything is set up correctly for importing sales units. This includes checking the planning area, key figures, and data integration settings.
  
  
  Data Mapping: Ensure that the data mapping between the source and target systems is correct. This includes checking that the fields for sales units are correctly defined and mapped.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user performing the import has the necessary authorizations to access and import sales units.
  
  
  Logs and Traces: Review any logs or traces generated during the import process for additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context on the issue.
  
  
  Testing: If possible, perform a test import with a smaller dataset to see if the issue persists. This can help isolate whether the problem is with the data or the configuration.
