• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU198 - No error records exist for selection criteria specified ?

  The SAP error message RU198 ("No error records exist for selection criteria specified") typically occurs when you are trying to retrieve error records from a specific transaction or report, but the system does not find any records that match the criteria you have specified. This can happen in various contexts, such as during data processing, batch jobs, or error handling in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  No Errors Recorded: The most straightforward reason is that there are simply no error records that match the selection criteria you have entered.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The criteria you specified (such as date range, document number, or other filters) may not correspond to any existing records.
  Data Deletion: Error records may have been deleted or archived, leading to the absence of records for the specified criteria.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, you may not have the necessary authorizations to view the error records, which could lead to the impression that no records exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that they are correct and that you are looking for the right time frame or document types.
  Broaden Criteria: If possible, try broadening your selection criteria to see if any records exist outside of your initial parameters.
  Review Logs: Check any relevant logs or reports to see if there were errors that were logged but not captured by your selection criteria.
  Data Integrity: Ensure that the data you are querying has not been deleted or archived. If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or data management team.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to access the error records. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required access.
