  SAP Error Message:
  W8315 - Existing selection removed
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when a previously saved selection variant or selection criteria is overwritten or removed during the execution of a report or transaction. Essentially, the system notifies you that the existing selection criteria you had set earlier have been cleared or replaced by new selection parameters.
  This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  When you load a selection variant and then change the selection parameters manually.
  When a program or report resets the selection screen fields.
  When a user or process deletes or modifies the selection criteria that were previously saved or set.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review your selection criteria: Before executing the report or transaction, verify the selection parameters you want to use.
  Save your selection variant: If you want to reuse the same selection criteria, save them as a variant so you can load them again without losing them.
  Avoid overwriting unintentionally: Be cautious when changing selection parameters after loading
