Please use fewer items" typically occurs when you are trying to print a document (like a sales order, invoice, or delivery note) that contains too many items or line entries, exceeding the maximum allowed length for a print line in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Character Limit: The error indicates that the total length of the print line exceeds the maximum limit of 255 characters. This can happen if you have a large number of items in a document or if the descriptions of the items are too long.
  Configuration Settings: The print layout or form settings may not be optimized for the number of items being printed.
  Custom Forms: If you are using a custom print form, it may not be configured to handle a large number of items properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce the Number of Items: If possible, try to reduce the number of items in the document you are trying to print. This could involve splitting the document into multiple parts or reducing the quantity of items.
  Shorten Item Descriptions: If the item descriptions are lengthy, consider using shorter descriptions or abbreviations to fit within the character limit.
  Modify Print Layout: 
  
  If you have access to the SAPscript or SmartForms used for printing, you can modify the layout to accommodate more items or adjust the formatting to reduce the line length.
  Check the settings in the print layout to see if you can adjust the number of items displayed per line or change the font size.
  
  
  Use Standard Forms: If you are using a custom form, try switching to a standard SAP form to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is with the custom form.
  Consult with SAP Basis or ABAP Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP development team. They can help analyze the print program and make necessary adjustments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to printing and line length limitations.
