  Review Selection Criteria: If applicable, review the selection criteria used in the operation to ensure they are not overly restrictive. Adjust them if necessary to include more records.
  Run Data Load Jobs: If the target table is supposed to be populated by a batch job or data load process, ensure that these jobs have been executed successfully and check their logs for any errors.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the relevant SAP documentation or transaction guides to understand the expected behavior of the target table and the processes that populate it.
