  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Data: The most common cause is that the system is trying to access data that does not exist. This could be due to:
  
  No stock available for the requested operation.
  The document (like a delivery or transfer order) has not been created or is not in the expected status.

  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The filters or selection criteria used in the transaction may not match any existing records.
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the system is integrated with other systems (like ERP), there may be delays or issues in data synchronization.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or process the data.
  
  
  Solutions:

  Data Synchronization: If the system is integrated with other systems, check for any synchronization issues. You may need to wait for data to be updated or manually trigger a synchronization process.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult Logs and Traces: If the issue persists, check the application logs or traces for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context.
