  SAP Message W/187: "Price lists and no materials were found for the selection"
  Cause:
  
  This warning message typically occurs when you execute a report or transaction that involves price lists (e.g., condition records, pricing reports, or material price lists), but the system does not find any materials matching the selection criteria.
  Possible reasons include:
  
  The selection criteria (material numbers, material groups, plants, etc.) do not correspond to any existing materials in the system.
  The price list or condition records exist, but no materials are assigned or linked to those price lists for the selected parameters.
  Incorrect or overly restrictive selection parameters (e.g., date range, material group, sales organization) that exclude all materials.
  Master data inconsistencies or missing data (e.g., materials not maintained in the relevant plant or sales area).
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the input parameters used in the report or transaction.
  Broaden the selection criteria to include more materials or different material groups.
  Verify that the plant, sales organization, distribution channel, and other organizational units are correctly specified.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the materials exist in the system and are active.
  Check if the materials are assigned to the relevant plants and sales areas.
  Confirm that the materials have valid pricing conditions or price lists maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records / Price Lists:
  
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition Records) or VK11 (Create Condition Records) to verify if price lists or condition records exist for the materials.
  Confirm that the condition records are valid for the selected date range and organizational units.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Maintain Data:
  
  If no materials are linked to the price lists, maintain the necessary condition records or price lists.
  If materials are missing, create or update the material master data accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs or Debug:
  
  If the issue persists, check application logs or enable debugging to trace why no materials are found.
