  Error Message
  VN071: No further entries in this search direction can be displayed
  
  Cause
  This message typically appears when you are navigating through a list or search results in SAP (for example, in vendor master data, invoice lists, or other transaction logs) and you have reached the end (or beginning) of the available entries in the current search direction.
  
  "Search direction" means whether you are moving forward or backward through the list.
  When you try to move beyond the last available entry (or before the first), SAP shows this message.
  It is not an error in the system but an informational message indicating that no more data is available in the direction you are trying to browse.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While scrolling through vendor or invoice lists.
  When using search helps or selection screens with navigation buttons (Next, Previous).
  When browsing through document lists or master data entries.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle
  
  Understand that this is an informational message: It simply means you have reached the end or beginning of the list.
  Change the search direction: If you want to see previous entries, navigate backward; if you want to see next entries, navigate forward.
  Refine your selection criteria: If you want to see more entries, try broadening your search criteria to include more data.
  Check if the data you are looking for exists: Sometimes, the list is short or empty, so no further entries exist.
  Use filters or sorting: To better manage the data displayed and avoid reaching the end quickly.
