  Error Message
  WR_POWL014: No records found for your selection criteria
  
  Cause
  This message appears in SAP when you are using the POWL (Personal Object Worklist) framework and the system cannot find any data matching the selection criteria you have specified.
  The POWL framework is used in SAP to display worklists for various business objects (e.g., purchase requisitions, workflow tasks, etc.). When you execute a POWL query or open a POWL worklist, the system runs a query against the underlying database tables or views. If no records meet the filter or selection criteria, this message is shown.
  Common causes include:
  
  The selection criteria are too restrictive or incorrect.
  The underlying data does not exist or is not yet created.
  Authorization issues preventing data retrieval.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the POWL query or feeder class.
  The POWL query is not assigned to the user or role properly.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the filters or selection parameters you entered.
  Try broadening the criteria (e.g., remove date filters, status filters).
  Ensure that the criteria correspond to existing data.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:
  
  Check if the data you expect to see actually exists in the system.
  Use transaction codes or reports related to the business object to confirm data presence.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that your user has the necessary authorizations to view the data.
  Missing authorizations can cause the system to return no records.
  
  
  
  Review POWL Configuration:
  
  Check the POWL query configuration in transaction POWL_QUERY.
  Verify the feeder class assigned to the POWL query. The feeder class is responsible for fetching data.
  Debug or analyze the feeder class method (usually GET_DATA) to see why no data is returned.
  
  
  
  Check User Assignment:
  
  Ensure the POWL query is assigned to the user or role.
  Use transaction POWL_QUERY or POWL to check assignments.
  
  
  
  Check for System Issues:
  
  Sometimes, system inconsistencies or missing indexes can cause data retrieval issues.
  Run consistency checks or consult BASIS team if needed.
