  SAP Error Message: WD111 No steps found with the search criteria entered
  
  Cause:
  The error message WD111 typically occurs in the Web Dynpro ABAP environment, especially when working with the Web Dynpro Explorer or during the execution of Web Dynpro applications that involve navigation or step processing.
  Meaning:
  
  The system is trying to find one or more "steps" (navigation steps, process steps, or workflow steps) based on the search criteria or filter parameters provided, but no matching steps are found.
  Common causes include:
  
  The search criteria entered are too restrictive or incorrect, resulting in no matching steps.
  The underlying data or configuration for the steps is missing or incomplete.
  The Web Dynpro application or component is not properly configured or deployed.
  The user might be searching in the wrong context or with wrong parameters.
  In workflow or process scenarios, the steps might not have been created or assigned yet.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WD111 No steps found with the search criteria entered error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Search Criteria:
  
  Verify the input values or filters used in the search.
  Broaden the search criteria to include more possible matches.
  Remove unnecessary filters or parameters.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the Web Dynpro application/component is correctly configured.
  Check if the steps/processes are properly defined in the backend or in the Web Dynpro component.
  
  
  
  Check Data Availability:
  
  Confirm that the steps or workflow steps exist in the system.
  If this is related to a workflow or process, verify that the steps have been created and assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to view or access the steps.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the Web Dynpro debugger or transaction /IWFND/TRACES to trace the issue.
  Check the backend tables or data sources that provide the steps.
  
  
  
  Re-deploy or Re-activate:
  
  If the application or component was recently changed, try re-activating or re-deploying it.
