  Incorrect Selection: The user may have applied filters or selection criteria that exclude all data, leading to an empty result set.
  
  
  Data Locking: If another user or process is currently locking the data you are trying to save, it may result in this error.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database connection or issues with the APO system itself.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or save data in the planning book.

  Adjust Filters: Review and adjust any filters or selection criteria to ensure they allow for data retrieval. Remove any unnecessary filters that may be excluding data.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Verify if the data is locked by another user or process. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks and resolve them if necessary.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and save data in the planning book. You may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.
