  SAP Error Message: WSD_MESSAGE230 - Selection contains no values
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when a selection screen or a selection parameter in a report, query, or web service call is executed without any values being provided or selected. In other words, the system expects at least one value in the selection criteria, but none were entered or passed.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Running a report or query without specifying mandatory selection criteria.
  A web service or function module call where the selection table or parameter is empty.
  A filter or selection variant that results in no data being selected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Ensure that the selection screen or input parameters contain valid values.
  If the selection is mandatory, provide at least one value before executing.
  
  
  
  Review Variant or Default Values:
  
  If using a variant, verify that it contains valid selection values.
  Update or create a variant with appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Debug or Trace:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or web service, debug to check why the selection table or parameter is empty.
  Check the logic that fills the selection criteria.
  
  
  
  Adjust Program Logic:
  
  If the program should handle empty selections gracefully, modify the code to provide default values or handle empty selections without error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check SAP notes or documentation related to the specific report, query, or web service for any known issues or required parameters.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is often seen in reports or queries that require at least one selection value to process data.
  In SAP BW or BI contexts, similar errors occur when InfoProviders or queries are executed without filters.
  In web services (e.g., SAP PI/PO or SOAP services), the message can indicate missing mandatory input data.
  The message class WSD_MESSAGE is often related to Web Service Development or Web Service Data.
  
  
  Example:
  If you run a report that requires a date range or material number but leave those fields blank, the system may throw this error to prevent processing an unfiltered or empty selection.
