This error typically occurs in the context of mass maintenance transactions, such as mass changes to material master data.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Selection Criteria: The function module that is being called requires specific selection criteria (like material numbers, plant codes, etc.) to identify which materials to process, but none were provided.
  Incorrect Function Module Call: The function module may have been called incorrectly in the program or report, leading to the absence of necessary parameters.
  User Input Issues: If the selection criteria are supposed to be provided by user input (e.g., through a selection screen), it may be that the user did not enter any values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Parameters: Ensure that the selection criteria are being passed correctly to the function module. This may involve checking the code where the function module is called to ensure that the necessary parameters are populated.

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the program to see what values are being passed to the function module. This can help identify if the selection criteria are indeed missing or if there is another issue.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific function module being used to understand what parameters are required and ensure that they are being provided correctly.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the program to check for empty selection criteria before calling the function module, and provide a user-friendly message if no criteria are found.
  
  
  Related Information:
