  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_AT_GENERATE004 - No data records found for the specified selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to generate or process a report, form, or output (such as a payment advice, remittance advice, or any other document) in SAP, but the system cannot find any data matching the selection criteria you have entered.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The selection criteria (dates, company codes, vendor/customer numbers, document numbers, etc.) do not correspond to any existing data in the system.  
  The data you expect to process has not yet been created or posted in SAP.  
  Incorrect or overly restrictive filters have been applied.  
  The relevant data might be archived or deleted.  
  The program or report is being run in the wrong client or environment.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:  
  
  Verify that the input parameters (dates, company codes, vendor/customer numbers, document numbers, etc.) are correct and valid.  
  Broaden the selection criteria to include a wider range of data (e.g., extend date ranges, remove unnecessary filters).
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:  
  
  Use standard SAP transactions or reports to confirm that the data you expect to process actually exists in the system. For example, check vendor invoices, payment documents, or master data.  
  If the data is missing, investigate why it has not been created or posted.
  
  
  
  Check Data Status:  
  
  Ensure that the data is in the correct status for processing (e.g., posted, not blocked, not archived).
  
  
  
  Check Program/Report Settings:  
  
  Confirm that you are running the report or program in the correct client and environment.  
  Review any customizations or user exits that might affect data selection.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Traces:  
  
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) or system logs for additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context.
