  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VR416 - No documents created. Display is not possible.
  
  SAP Error Message: VR416
  Text: No documents created. Display is not possible.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to display or print a document (such as a payment advice, payment medium, or accounting document) in SAP, but the system cannot find any related document records in the database. Essentially, the system expects that a document should have been created in a previous step, but it does not exist.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to display a payment document that was never created because the payment run did not generate any payment documents.
  Trying to display a document before the posting or creation step was completed.
  The document was deleted or not saved due to an error in the previous process.
  Incorrect selection criteria or document number entered when trying to display the document.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VR416 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Process Flow:
  
  Verify that the document creation step was successfully completed.
  For example, if you are trying to display a payment document, ensure that the payment run (transaction F110 or similar) was executed successfully and that payment documents were generated.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Number and Selection Criteria:
  
  Double-check the document number or selection parameters you are using to display the document.
  Make sure you are using the correct company code, fiscal year, and document number.
  
  
  
  Check Document Existence:
  
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N/FBL3N (line item display) to verify if the document exists.
  If the document does not exist, you need to create it by re-running the relevant process.
  
  
  
  Review Logs and Messages:
  
  Check the application log (transaction SLG1) or job logs for errors during the document creation process.
  Look for any errors or warnings that might have prevented document creation.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  If the document was not created due to an error, correct the error and re-run the process (e.g., payment run, posting, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to display the document.

  Notes:
  
  This error is informational and indicates that the system cannot find the document you want to display.
  It is not a system error but a result of missing data or incorrect input.
  
  
  
  Typical Use Case:
  
  After running an automatic payment program, you try to display the payment advice or payment document, but no document was created because the payment run did not select any items or failed.
