  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria entered by the user do not match any existing records in the database. This could be due to incorrect dates, plant codes, material numbers, or other parameters.

  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain records, leading to the appearance that no records exist.
  
  
  Data Deletion: Records may have been deleted or archived, which would also result in no records being found.
