• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPO/MSG315 - No data records match the selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPO/MSG315 No data records match the selection criteria typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that retrieves data, but the specified selection criteria do not match any records in the database. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with purchase orders, contracts, or other data sets in SAP.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the filters or selection criteria entered by the user do not correspond to any existing records. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect date ranges.
  Wrong document types.
  Specific status filters that exclude all records.
  Typographical errors in key fields (e.g., vendor number, material number).
  
  
  
  Data Not Yet Created: The data you are trying to access may not have been created yet. For example, if you are looking for purchase orders that have not been entered into the system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain records, leading to the perception that no data exists.
  
  
  Data Deletion: Records may have been deleted or archived, making them unavailable for the current selection criteria.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings that limit the visibility of certain records based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that:
  
  The date ranges are correct and encompass the expected data.
  The document types and statuses are appropriate.
  There are no typographical errors in key fields.
  
  
  
  Broaden Criteria: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria to see if any records can be retrieved. For example, remove certain filters or expand date ranges.
  
  
  Check Data Existence: Verify if the data you are looking for actually exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Running a broader report without filters.
  Checking with colleagues or using transaction codes to see if the records are present.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security team.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the selection criteria or the data structure, consult the relevant SAP documentation or user guides.
