  The SAP error message RSTRAN852 ("Nothing selected in the overview table") typically occurs in the context of data extraction or data transfer processes, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error indicates that the system did not find any data to process based on the selection criteria provided.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there is no data available in the underlying data source that matches the selection criteria specified in the query or data transfer process.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The filters or selection criteria applied in the query may be too restrictive, leading to no records being selected.
  Data Load Issues: There may have been issues during the data load process, resulting in no data being available in the InfoProvider or data target.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the InfoProvider.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source may not be properly configured or may not be active.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data in the underlying data source. You can do this by running a query directly on the data source or checking the relevant tables.
  Review Selection Criteria: Reassess the selection criteria used in the query. Try broadening the filters to see if any data is returned.
  Data Load Monitoring: Check the data load process in the SAP BW system to ensure that data has been successfully loaded into the InfoProvider. Use transaction codes like RSA1 to monitor data loads.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data. You can check this in the user roles and authorizations.
  Data Source Configuration: Verify that the data source is correctly configured and active. Check the settings in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Re-run the Query: After making any necessary adjustments, re-run the query to see if the issue is resolved.
