• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 54275 - Action cancelled - too many lines selected ?

  The SAP error message 54275, "Action cancelled - too many lines selected," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action on a selection of data that exceeds the system's predefined limits. This can happen in various SAP transactions, especially when dealing with large datasets, such as in reports or mass changes.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Selection Limits: SAP has certain limits on the number of records that can be processed in a single action. If the number of selected lines exceeds this limit, the action will be canceled.

  Applying filters to narrow down the selection.
  Selecting a smaller subset of records manually.
  Using pagination or batch processing if available.
  
  
  
  Check System Settings: If you have access, check the system settings or consult with your SAP Basis team to see if the limits can be adjusted for your specific needs.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If the action you are trying to perform can be done in smaller batches, consider breaking it down into smaller groups that fall within the acceptable limits.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using to understand any limitations or recommended practices.
