• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMB081 - No table entries were selected ?

  The SAP error message UMB081, which states "No table entries were selected," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report that requires data from a specific table, but no entries meet the selection criteria defined in the transaction or report.
  Causes:
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria (such as date ranges, status, or other filters) do not match any entries in the database. This can happen if the criteria are too restrictive or if there are simply no entries that meet the criteria.
  
  
  Data Availability: There may be no data available in the relevant tables for the specified parameters. This could be due to data not being entered yet, or it may have been archived or deleted.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance that no entries exist.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent data from being displayed correctly.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria you have entered. Make sure they are correct and not overly restrictive. Try broadening the criteria to see if any entries are returned.
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there are indeed entries in the relevant tables. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to look directly at the table in question.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the data. You may need to contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult with IT Support: If you suspect a configuration issue or if the problem persists after checking the above points, it may be necessary to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team for further investigation.
  
  
  Check for Data Archiving: If data has been archived, you may need to check the archiving settings or access archived data through the appropriate transaction.
  
  
  Related Information:
