  Cause:
  
  
  No Data for Selected Period: The most common cause is that there are no events recorded in the system for the specified selection interval. This could be due to:
  
  No events have been entered for the selected employees.
  The events may have been deleted or not saved properly.
  The selection criteria (dates, employee IDs, etc.) do not match any existing records.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Date Range: The date range specified in the selection criteria may not align with the dates of the events in the system.
  
  
  Selection Criteria Issues: The filters or selection criteria used in the report or transaction may be too restrictive, leading to no results being returned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Entry: Verify that the relevant events have been entered into the system for the employees and the specified date range. You can do this by checking the relevant infotypes (e.g., Infotype 2001 for Absences, Infotype 2002 for Attendances).
  
  
  Adjust Date Range: Ensure that the date range you are using in your selection criteria includes the dates for which events are recorded. You may need to widen the date range.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you are using. Make sure that they are not overly restrictive. For example, if you are filtering by specific employee groups or event types, ensure that these filters are appropriate.
