  Broaden the Criteria: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria (e.g., by removing date ranges or specific filters) to see if any data appears.
  Verify Data Existence: Check if the data you are looking for actually exists in the system. You can do this by running a different report or transaction that should display the data.
  Check Authorizations: 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 or SAP Support: If you are still unable to resolve the issue, consult with your IT department or SAP support team for further assistance.
