  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5134 - No POs exist or were read that satisfy your selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you execute a transaction or report that requires Purchase Orders (POs) as input, but the system does not find any POs matching the selection criteria you have entered. In other words, the system searched for POs based on your filters (such as vendor, date range, document status, purchasing group, etc.) but found none.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The selection criteria are too restrictive or incorrect (e.g., wrong vendor, plant, purchasing organization).  
  No POs have been created yet for the specified criteria.  
  The POs exist but are in a status that excludes them from the selection (e.g., blocked, deleted, or not yet released).  
  The date range or other parameters do not cover any existing POs.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and broaden your selection criteria:  
  
  Verify the vendor, purchasing organization, plant, purchasing group, and other filters.  
  Expand the date range or remove some filters to increase the search scope.
  
  
  
  Verify PO existence:  
  
  Use transaction ME23N (Display Purchase Order) or ME2N (Purchase Orders by PO Number) to check if POs exist for the vendor or other criteria you are using.
  
  
  
  Check PO status:  
  
  Ensure that the POs are not blocked, deleted, or in a status that excludes them from the report or transaction.
  
  
  
  Check authorization:  
  
  Make sure you have the necessary authorizations to view the POs for the selected criteria.
  
  
  
  Consult with the purchasing department:  
  
  Confirm that POs have been created for the relevant vendors or materials.
