  Causes:
  
  
  No Relevant Data: The most straightforward cause is that there is genuinely no data available for the operation you are trying to perform. This could be due to filters applied in the selection criteria that do not match any records.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The parameters or filters set for the data extraction or processing might be too restrictive, leading to no data being returned.
  
  
  Data Not Yet Loaded: If the process relies on data that has not yet been loaded into the system (e.g., from a previous step in a data processing workflow), this error can occur.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the relevant SAP module that prevent data from being processed correctly.
