• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD027 - No objects matched the selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message SD027, which states "No objects matched the selection criteria," typically occurs in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report that does not return any results based on the specified selection criteria. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to display sales orders, deliveries, or billing documents.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria entered do not match any existing records in the database. This could be due to incorrect dates, customer numbers, material numbers, or other parameters.
  
  
  Data Not Available: The data you are trying to access may not exist in the system. For example, if you are looking for sales orders for a specific customer, and that customer has no orders, you will receive this message.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, which can lead to the appearance of no matching objects.
  
  
  Data Deletion: If records have been deleted or archived, they will not be available for selection.
  
  
  Filters Applied: If there are filters applied in the selection screen that are too restrictive, it may lead to no results being found.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that all fields are filled out correctly and that the values are valid.
  
  
  Broaden the Search: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria. For example, if you are searching for a specific date range, try expanding the range to see if any records appear.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data you are looking for actually exists in the system. You can do this by checking other reports or transactions.
  
  
  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 with IT Support: If you suspect that data has been deleted or archived, consult with your IT support team to understand the data retention policies and whether the data you are looking for is still available.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the specific report or transaction is not yielding results, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the information you need.
