• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS021 - No entries are available ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS021 - No entries are available
  
  Cause:
  The error message WS021 - No entries are available typically occurs when a user or a program tries to access or display data from a table, view, or selection screen, but no matching records or entries are found based on the given selection criteria.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  Searching for data in a report or transaction where the selection criteria do not match any records.  
  Attempting to display entries in a list or table that is currently empty.  
  Using a filter or parameter that excludes all available data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the input parameters or selection criteria you have entered. Make sure they are correct and not too restrictive. Loosen the filters or broaden the date range or other parameters to include more data.
  
  
  Verify Data Availability:
  
  Confirm that the data you are trying to access actually exists in the system. For example, if you are searching for purchase orders, check if any purchase orders exist for the given criteria.
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, the user may not have the authorization to view certain data, which can result in no entries being displayed. Verify user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Debug or Check Program Logic (for developers):
  
  If this message appears in a custom program or report, check the logic that fetches data. Ensure that the database queries or selects are correct and that the data exists.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  If the error occurs in a standard SAP transaction and seems unexpected, check SAP Notes or OSS for any known issues or patches.
