  WS284 - No data was selected for settlement of expenses
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process of expenses (e.g., in Travel Management or Controlling) when the system does not find any data (costs, expenses, or postings) to settle for the specified settlement rule or receiver. Essentially, the settlement run tries to process expenses, but there are no relevant line items or costs available for settlement.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The settlement rule is assigned but no actual costs have been posted to the sender object (e.g., cost center, internal order, WBS element).  
  The settlement period or selection criteria do not match any posted expenses.  
  The sender object has no costs or expenses to settle.  
  The settlement receiver is not correctly maintained or active.  
  The settlement profile or parameters are incorrectly set, causing no data to be selected.
