• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message Q2503 - No logs exist for the selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message Q2503 ("No logs exist for the selection criteria") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to access logs or records related to quality inspections, notifications, or other QM-related activities, but the system cannot find any logs that match the criteria you have specified.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there are simply no logs or records that meet the selection criteria you have entered. This could be due to:
  
  The selection criteria being too restrictive.
  No inspections or notifications having been created for the specified time period or other parameters.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The parameters you are using to filter the logs may not match any existing records. This could include incorrect dates, document types, or other fields.
  
  
  Data Deletion: Logs may have been deleted or archived, which means they are no longer available for the selection criteria you are using.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the logs, leading to the appearance that no logs exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you are using. Make sure that:
  
  The date range is correct and includes the period you expect to find logs for.
  Other filters (like document type, status, etc.) are not too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Broaden Search Parameters: If possible, try to broaden your search parameters to see if any logs exist without the specific filters you initially applied.
  
  
  Check for Data Deletion/Archiving: Verify if logs have been deleted or archived. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or check the archiving settings in your system.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the logs. If you suspect this might be the issue, contact your system administrator to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional context on the specific transaction or report you are using, as there may be specific nuances related to that functionality.
  
  
  System Logs: If you have access, check system logs or error logs for any additional information that might indicate why the logs are not being found.
