  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The criteria entered (such as material type, plant, storage location, etc.) may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no materials being found.
  Data Issues: There may be no materials in the system that match the specified criteria, possibly due to data entry errors or missing master data.

  Check Material Status: Look into the status of the materials. If they are blocked or inactive, you may need to reactivate them or change their status.
