• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY1003 - Enter a minimum of one selection criterion ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY1003 - Enter a minimum of one selection criterion
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to execute a report, transaction, or selection screen in SAP without entering any selection criteria. The system requires at least one input field to be filled to process the request and avoid returning an unfiltered or excessively large dataset.
  
  Explanation:
  Many SAP reports or transactions that retrieve data from the database require the user to specify at least one selection criterion (such as a date range, document number, material number, etc.) to limit the scope of the data retrieval. This is to ensure performance optimization and to avoid overwhelming the system with large data sets.
  If you leave all selection fields blank and try to execute the report or transaction, the system triggers the error message WY1003.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter at least one selection criterion on the selection screen before executing the report or transaction.
  Common selection criteria could be:
  
  Date range (e.g., posting date, document date)
  Document number or number range
  Material number or material group
  Customer or vendor number
  Plant or storage location
  
  
  After entering the required selection criteria, execute the report again.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  This message is a standard validation check implemented in many SAP reports and transactions to prevent performance issues.
  
  
  If you believe you should be able to run the report without any selection criteria, check with your SAP functional consultant or developer. They may need to adjust the program logic or provide a variant with default values.
  
  
  In custom reports, this message is often triggered by a statement like:
  IF selection_criteria IS INITIAL.
    MESSAGE 'Enter a minimum of one selection criterion' TYPE 'E'.
  ENDIF.
  
  
  Always try to narrow down your selection to improve system performance and reduce runtime.
