  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PCM023 No orders were selected; operation was terminated typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to execute a planning function or transaction that requires the selection of orders, but no orders meet the selection criteria.
  Causes:
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined for the planning function may be too restrictive, resulting in no orders being selected.
  Data Availability: There may be no relevant orders available in the system for the specified time period or location.

  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used in the planning function. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive and that they match the orders you expect to process.
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there are indeed orders available in the system for the specified criteria. You can do this by checking the relevant order tables or using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/ORDR to view orders.
  Verify Planning Version: Ensure that the correct planning version is selected and that it is activated. You can check this in the planning book settings.
  Examine Master Data: Ensure that all necessary master data is correctly maintained and available. This includes checking product master data, location data, and any other relevant master data.
  Adjust Filters: If filters are applied in the planning book or selection screen, consider adjusting or removing them to see if that allows orders to be selected.
