  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ARTICLELIST066 - No records were found for the specified selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user executes a report, query, or transaction that is supposed to retrieve article or material data, but the system does not find any records matching the selection criteria entered. Essentially, the database search returns zero results.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The selection criteria are too restrictive or incorrect (e.g., wrong material number, date range, plant, or other filters).  
  The data does not exist in the system for the given parameters (e.g., no articles created or assigned in the specified period or organizational unit).  
  Master data or transactional data might be missing or not yet created.  
  Possible authorization restrictions limiting data visibility.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and Broaden Selection Criteria:  
  
  Review the input parameters carefully.  
  Remove or relax filters such as date ranges, material groups, plants, or sales organizations.  
  Try using more general or fewer criteria to increase the chance of finding records.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:  
  
  Confirm that the articles or materials actually exist in the system.  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or SE16/SE16N (Data Browser) to check master data tables (e.g., MARA, MVKE).  
  Check if the relevant data has been created or maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:  
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to view the data.  
  Sometimes, authorization restrictions can cause no data to be displayed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Functional Team:  
  
  If the data should exist but is not found, consult with the master data or business team to verify data creation and maintenance processes.
  
  
  
  Technical Checks:  
  
  If the issue persists, check for any custom code or enhancements that might filter out data incorrectly.  
  Review logs or debug the report/query to understand why no data is returned.
