  The SAP error message PPDS_PB008 ("No data could be selected") typically occurs in the context of the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module when a user attempts to execute a planning run or query, but the system cannot find any relevant data to process. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Relevant Data in the Planning Horizon: The planning horizon may not contain any relevant data for the selected criteria. This could be due to the absence of planned orders, production orders, or stock levels within the specified time frame.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria set by the user may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no data being available for processing.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: Missing or incorrect master data (like materials, resources, or production versions) can lead to the system not being able to find any data to select.
  
  
  Data Not Released: If the planned orders or production orders are not released, they may not be considered in the planning run.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the PP/DS module can also lead to this error, especially if the planning area or planning version is not set up correctly.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Planning Horizon: Ensure that the planning horizon is set correctly and that there are relevant data entries (like planned orders or stock levels) within that time frame.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Re-evaluate the selection criteria used in the planning run. Make sure they are not overly restrictive and that they align with the data available in the system.
  
  
  Verify Master Data: Check the master data for the materials and resources involved. Ensure that all necessary data is complete and correctly configured.
  
  
  Release Orders: If applicable, ensure that any planned orders or production orders are released so that they can be included in the planning run.
  
  
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings in the PP/DS module. Ensure that the planning area, planning version, and other relevant settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  Run a Data Consistency Check: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TSM to check for data consistency issues in the system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/DP for demand planning, /SAPAPO/PPDS for detailed scheduling, and /SAPAPO/TSM for checking data consistency.
