Creating a service program in inventory results in 'no data found error'

Question

Hi,
i tried creating a service program as was given in the sep 2001 issue of the crm newsletter. While saving the item it results in the following error:
FRM-40735 ON-INSERT trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01653
ORA-01403 No data Found
What could be the possible cause for the occurrence of this error?
Thanks & Regards,
Nithya

You're doing a lot of unnecessary conversion of dates into character strings and back into dates again.
Keep it simple and just use dates as-is:
SQL> select * from T_REC_PER;
                 VAL START_PERIOD         END_PERIOD
                   5 15-OCT-2008 00:00:00 30-OCT-2008 00:00:00
                   6 31-OCT-2008 00:00:00 06-NOV-2008 00:00:00
                   8 07-NOV-2008 00:00:00 12-NOV-2008 00:00:00
SQL> declare
  2     ls_per   date := to_date('17-OCT-2008','DD-MON-YYYY');
  3     ln_val   number;
  4  begin
  5     select t.val
  6     into   ln_val
  7     from   T_REC_PER t
  8     where  ls_per between t.start_period and t.end_period;
  9     dbms_output.put_line(ln_val);
10  end;
11  /
