• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5036 - Please pass on at least one selection parameter ?

  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message W5036: "Please pass on at least one selection parameter":
  
  Error Message:
  W5036 - Please pass on at least one selection parameter
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you execute a report, transaction, or selection screen in SAP that requires at least one selection criterion (parameter) to be entered, but you have left all selection fields empty. The system expects you to specify at least one filter or parameter to limit the data retrieval or processing scope.
  
  Explanation:
  Many SAP reports or programs are designed to process large volumes of data. To avoid performance issues or unintentional processing of all data, these programs require users to enter at least one selection parameter (such as a date range, document number, material number, etc.) before execution.
  If no selection parameter is provided, the system issues this warning to prompt the user to specify criteria to narrow down the data set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter at least one selection parameter on the selection screen before executing the report or transaction.
  Typical parameters could be:
  
  Date range (e.g., posting date, document date)
  Document number or number range
  Material number
  Customer or vendor number
  Plant or storage location
  
  
  After entering the required parameter(s), execute the report again.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so in some cases, you might be able to continue by confirming the message, but it is generally not recommended because it may lead to processing or displaying very large data sets.
  The message is controlled in the program code by a check that verifies if any selection parameter is filled.
  If you are a developer or have access to the program code, you can check the selection screen logic or the message issuance in the ABAP code (look for MESSAGE W5036).
  In some custom reports, this message can be modified or suppressed, but it should be done carefully to avoid performance issues.
