• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST016 - No selection criteria found ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST016 No selection criteria found
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a report, transaction, or program that requires selection criteria to filter data is executed without any selection criteria being entered. In other words, the system expects the user to specify at least one filter or parameter to limit the data scope, but none was provided.
  For example, in article or material list reports (often related to retail or merchandising modules), the system needs some criteria such as article number, date range, or category to generate a meaningful list. If the user leaves all selection fields blank and tries to run the report, this error is triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter at least one selection criterion: Before executing the report or transaction, provide at least one valid filter or parameter in the selection screen. This could be:
  
  Article number or range
  Date or period
  Material group or category
  Any other relevant
