  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5135 - No requisitions exist or were read that satisfy your selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to display or process purchase requisitions (PRs) in SAP, but the system does not find any purchase requisitions that match the selection criteria you have entered. Essentially, the system searched the database but found zero records that meet the specified filters.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The selection criteria (such as plant, purchasing group, material number, date range, status, etc.) are too restrictive or incorrect.
  There are genuinely no purchase requisitions created or released for the given criteria.
  The user might be looking in the wrong purchasing organization or company code.
  The requisitions exist but are in a status or category not included in the selection.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and Broaden Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the input fields in your selection screen.
  Remove or relax filters such as date ranges, material numbers, purchasing groups, or plant.
  Try searching with minimal criteria (e.g., only company code or no filters) to see if any requisitions appear.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:
  
  Confirm that purchase requisitions actually exist in the system for the given parameters.
  Use transaction codes like ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) or ME5A (List Display of Purchase Requisitions) with broader criteria.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view the purchase requisitions in the selected organizational units.
  
  
  
  Check Status and Release Strategy:
  
  Some reports or transactions only show requisitions in certain statuses (e.g., released).
  Verify if the requisitions are in the expected status.
  
  
  
  Consult with Procurement Team:
  
  Confirm with the purchasing department if requisitions have been created for the period or criteria you are searching.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  ME5A – List Display of Purchase Requisitions (commonly used to view PRs)
  ME53N – Display Purchase Requisition
  ME51N – Create Purchase Requisition
  ME52N – Change Purchase Requisition
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  This message is a standard SAP warning and does not indicate an error in the system but rather no data found.
  If you suspect a system issue, check for OSS notes related to purchase requisition display or selection.
  
  
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  When running reports or batch jobs that process purchase requisitions, this message can appear if no requisitions meet the criteria, which is informational.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  W5135 means no purchase requisitions were found for your selection. To resolve, verify and broaden your selection criteria, check if requisitions exist, and ensure you have the right authorizations and organizational context.
