  The SAP error message WGRC056: No data to be copied exists typically occurs in the context of data transfer processes, particularly when using the SAP system for logistics or inventory management. This error indicates that the system could not find any data to copy from the source to the target during a data transfer operation.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to identify the data to be copied may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no records being found.
  
  
  Data Transfer Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the data transfer process, such as incorrect mapping or settings.
