This error indicates that the system could not find any data that matches the criteria specified for the export operation.

    Causes:

    2. Review Mapping Configuration: Ensure that the mapping for the data export is correctly configured in the AIF settings. Check if the correct fields are being mapped to the Excel file.
    3. Adjust Selection Criteria: Modify the selection criteria to be less restrictive or to include a broader range of data.
    4. User Authorizations: Check the user’s authorizations to ensure they have the necessary permissions to access the data.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
