This error indicates that the system could not find any data that matches the criteria specified in your selection parameters.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria you have entered do not match any existing data in the database. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect date ranges.
  Wrong document numbers or IDs.
  Filters that are too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Data Not Loaded: If you are working with SAP BW or similar systems, it is possible that the data has not been loaded into the system yet. This could be due to:
  
  Data extraction issues.
  Data load processes not being executed.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance that no data exists.
  
  
  Data Archiving: The data you are trying to access may have been archived, and thus is no longer available in the active database.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database connectivity problems or issues with the data model.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that:
  
  The date ranges are correct and include the expected data.

  Checking the data source or InfoProvider for available data.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
