  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria specified in the planning function may not match any existing data in the system. This could be due to incorrect values, date ranges, or other filters that exclude all relevant data.

  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data, such as missing or incorrect entries for products, locations, or other relevant entities.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to the appearance that no valid selection exists.
  
  
  Planning Area Configuration: The planning area may not be correctly configured, or the data may not be assigned to the planning area being used.

  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used in the planning function. Ensure that they are correct and that they match the data you expect to retrieve. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
