• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ252 - No transaction selected ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ252 No transaction selected
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in SAP when a user attempts to execute a process or function that requires selecting one or more transactions (e.g., financial transactions, workflow transactions, or batch jobs), but no transaction has been selected. Essentially, the system expects at least one transaction to be chosen before proceeding, and since none is selected, it throws this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Running reports or batch jobs where you must select specific transactions.
  Workflow or process steps where transaction selection is mandatory.
  Payment runs or clearing processes where transactions/documents need to be selected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select at least one transaction:
  
  Before executing the process, ensure you select one or more transactions from the list or input screen.
  
  
  Check selection criteria:
  
  If the selection screen is filtered or limited, verify that the criteria are correct and that transactions exist for those criteria.
  
  
  Review user input:
  
  Make sure that the user has not accidentally skipped the selection step or cleared the selection.
  
  
  Check for default values or parameters:
  
  Sometimes, default parameters or variants might not include any transactions. Adjust these to include valid transactions.
  
  
  If using a custom program or report:
  
  Review the code or logic to ensure that the selection of transactions is properly handled and that the selection screen enforces mandatory selection.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
