- Check Field Configuration: Ensure that the field is correctly configured in the backend. If you have access, check the field's data element and domain settings.
- Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to view the possible entries for that field. If not, contact your SAP security administrator.
- Data Availability: Ensure that the necessary data is available in the system. If the list is empty, you may need to check if the relevant master data has been created.
