• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH003 - Selection did not result in any IDoc creation ?

  The SAP error message WH003 ("Selection did not result in any IDoc creation") typically occurs when an attempt to generate IDocs (Intermediate Documents) fails because the selection criteria did not yield any data to process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the outbound processing of IDocs for data transfer.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection parameters used to generate the IDocs may not match any existing records in the database.
  Data Not Available: There may be no data available for the specific conditions set in the IDoc generation process.
  Filters Applied: Filters or restrictions applied in the selection criteria may be too strict, leading to no records being selected.
