• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU490 - No simulation data available ?

  The SAP error message RSAU490 "No simulation data available" typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when you are trying to run a simulation for a process, such as a data extraction or a reporting function, and the system cannot find any relevant simulation data to display.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there is simply no data available for the simulation you are trying to run. This could be due to filters applied that exclude all data or because the data has not been loaded into the system.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have set for the simulation might not match any existing records in the database.
  
  
  Data Extraction Issues: If you are working with data extraction processes (like SAP BW), there may be issues with the data source or the data extraction process itself.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to the appearance of no data being available.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues with the SAP system, such as problems with the underlying database or issues with the specific transaction or report you are trying to run.
  
  
  Solutions:
