  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM840 Selection does not return any records to delete from Raw Demand table typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when attempting to delete records from the Raw Demand table, but the selection criteria do not match any existing records.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Matching Records: The most common cause of this error is that the selection criteria specified for the deletion do not match any records in the Raw Demand table. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect selection parameters (e.g., date range, product, location).
  The records may have already been deleted or do not exist.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as records that were expected to be present but were not created or were removed by other processes.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or delete the records, leading to the perception that no records exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used for the deletion process. Ensure that the parameters (like product, location, date range) are correct and that they correspond to existing records in the Raw Demand table.
  
  
  Verify Data Existence: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/RDM or relevant queries to check if there are indeed records in the Raw Demand table that match the selection criteria.
  
  
  Review Deletion Logic: If you are using a custom program or report to delete records, ensure that the logic is correctly implemented and that it accurately identifies the records to be deleted.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the deletion has the necessary authorizations to access and delete records from the Raw Demand table.
  
  
  Consult Logs: If applicable, check the application logs or system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
