• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WC033 - No data available for these selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message WC033 ("No data available for these selection criteria") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires specific data, but the system cannot find any records that match the criteria specified in the selection screen. This can happen in various SAP modules, including Production Planning (PP), Materials Management (MM), and others.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The most common cause is that the selection criteria entered by the user do not match any existing records in the database. This could be due to incorrect dates, material numbers, plant codes, or other parameters.
  
  
  Data Not Yet Created: The data that the user is trying to access may not have been created yet. For example, if you are looking for production orders, there may not be any orders created for the specified period.
  
  
  Data Deletion: The data might have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the current selection criteria.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain data, leading to the appearance of no data being available.
  
  
  Filters Applied: There may be additional filters or settings in the report that are limiting the data being displayed.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that all fields are filled out correctly and that the values are valid.
  
  
  Broaden the Criteria: If possible, try to broaden the selection criteria. For example, if you are filtering by a specific date range, try expanding the range to see if any data appears.
  
  
  Check Data Existence: Verify that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. You can do this by using other transactions or reports that may show the data without the same selection criteria.
  
  
  Consult with IT or SAP Support: If you suspect that the data should exist but you still receive the error, consult with your IT department or SAP support team to check for any data integrity issues or authorization problems.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the data. If you suspect an authorization issue, contact your SAP security team.
  
  
  Review Filters and Settings: If you are using a report with multiple filters or settings, review them to ensure they are not overly restrictive.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the module, you may be using different transaction codes (e.g., CO03 for viewing production orders, ME2N for purchasing documents).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or user manuals for guidance on the specific report or transaction to understand the expected input and output.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the WC033 error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
