• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TFW_API014 - No data records found ?

  The SAP error message TFW_API014 ("No data records found") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report that requires data to be present, but the system does not find any relevant records in the database. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using APIs, reports, or data extraction processes.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Available: The most straightforward reason is that there are simply no records that meet the criteria specified in the selection parameters.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The filters or selection criteria applied may be too restrictive, leading to no matching records.

  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection parameters to ensure they are correct and not overly restrictive. Adjust them if necessary.

  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect a technical issue, reach out to your IT support team to investigate any potential problems with the database or the API.
