  SAP Error Message: WA005 No entries found
  
  Cause:
  The message WA005 No entries found typically occurs when a user or a program tries to retrieve data from a database table, internal table, or selection screen, but no matching records or entries are found based on the given selection criteria or input parameters.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Searching for master data (e.g., material, vendor, customer) that does not exist.
  Running a report or transaction with filters that yield no results.
  Attempting to display or process data where the underlying table or dataset is empty or the selection criteria are too restrictive.
  Missing or incorrect input parameters leading to no data retrieval.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WA005 No entries found message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Parameters:

  Ensure that the data you are searching for actually exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Expand Selection Criteria:
  
  Broaden the search parameters to include a wider range of data.
  Remove overly restrictive filters that might exclude all entries.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16/SE16N or SE11 to check if the data exists in the relevant tables.
  Confirm that master data or transactional data is maintained properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, lack of authorization can prevent data from being displayed, resulting in no entries found.
