  The SAP error message SV004 ("No entries found that match the selection criteria") typically occurs when a user attempts to retrieve data from a database or execute a report, but the system cannot find any records that meet the specified selection criteria. This can happen in various contexts, such as when querying tables, running reports, or accessing transaction data.
