• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBFI_BALANCES003 - No time-based selection transferred ?

  The SAP error message:
  WEBFI_BALANCES003 No time-based selection transferred
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX), specifically when dealing with contract balances or financial postings related to real estate contracts.
  
  Cause
  This error message indicates that during a process (such as balance transfer, contract settlement, or financial posting), the system expected a time-based selection (a date range or period selection) to be provided or transferred, but none was found or transferred.
  In other words, the program or function module requires a time period (e.g., start and end dates) to filter or select relevant data, but this information was missing or not passed correctly.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Missing or incorrect input of the time period in the selection screen.
  A custom program or report calling standard SAP functions without passing the required time-based parameters.
  Incorrect configuration or missing data in contract or posting period settings.
  User did not enter the required date range or the system could not determine the period automatically.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Input Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the time-based selection (start date and end date) is entered correctly in the selection screen or input fields.
  If running a report or program, verify that the date range parameters are filled.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If this error occurs in a custom development or enhancement, check that the time-based selection parameters are correctly passed to the standard SAP function modules or BAPIs.
  Debug the program to see where the time-based selection is expected and why it is missing.
  
  
  
  Verify Contract and Posting Period Settings:
  
  Check the contract master data to ensure that relevant dates (contract start/end, posting periods) are maintained.
  Verify that the posting periods are open and valid for the dates involved.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WEBFI_BALANCES003 for any known issues or patches.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on RE-FX balance transfer and contract settlement processes.
