  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_ARTICLELIST074 No data found that meet the selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs when a user runs 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.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The selection criteria (such as material number, plant, date range, or other filters) are too restrictive or incorrect.  
  The data for the specified articles or materials does not exist in the system.  
  The master data or transactional data related to the articles is missing or not yet created.  
  The user might be using the wrong selection parameters or the wrong variant.  
  Authorization issues might prevent the user from seeing the data, though this usually triggers a different error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:  
  
  Review the input parameters carefully. Make sure the material numbers, plants, date ranges, or other filters are correct and valid.  
  Try broadening the selection criteria to see if any data is retrieved.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:  
  
  Check if the articles/materials exist in the system using transactions like MM03 (Display Material) or relevant master data transactions.  
  Confirm that the data relevant to the report (e.g., sales data, stock data) exists for the selected articles.
  
  
  
  Check Data Consistency:  
  
  Ensure that the master data and related transactional data are consistent and properly maintained.
