  Error Message:
  VR490 - No documents were found for these selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This message appears when you execute a transaction or report (commonly related to Vendor Invoice Verification, Logistics Invoice Verification, or related financial postings) and the system cannot find any documents that match the selection criteria you have entered.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  You entered selection criteria (such as vendor, document date, posting date, invoice number, company code, etc.) that do not correspond to any existing documents in the system.
  The documents you are trying to display or process have not been posted yet or have been archived.
  There might be a mismatch in the selection parameters (e.g., wrong fiscal year, incorrect vendor number, or document type).
  The user might be using incorrect or incomplete selection criteria.
  The document might have been deleted or reversed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify all input fields carefully (vendor number, company code, document date range, posting date range, fiscal year, document number, etc.).
  Make sure the criteria are correct and consistent.
  Try broadening the selection criteria to include a wider date range or fewer restrictions.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Confirm that the documents you expect to find have been posted and are not parked or blocked.
  Check if the documents exist in the system using other transactions (e.g., FB03 for FI documents, MIR4 for invoice documents).
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view the documents for the selected vendor or company code.
  
  
  
  Check Document Archiving:
  
  If documents are archived, they will not appear in standard selection screens. You may need to use archive information system or other tools to retrieve archived documents.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Transactions:
  
  Try using other related transactions or reports to verify the existence of documents.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs or Debug:
  
  If you suspect a system issue, check system logs or debug the program to see why no documents are being fetched.
