This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data retrieval, validation, or processing.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Filters or Selection Criteria: If you are using filters or selection criteria to retrieve data, it is possible that the criteria do not match any existing records.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to the appearance that no data exists.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the data model or the entity itself, which could prevent data from being retrieved correctly.
  
  
  Data Replication Issues: If the data is supposed to be replicated from another system (like an ERP system), there may be issues with the replication process.
