• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5L017 - Maximum of 22 records can be created at a time, rest will be omitted. ?

  The SAP error message 5L017 indicates that you are trying to create more than the allowed number of records in a single operation. Specifically, the system has a limit of 22 records that can be processed at one time, and any additional records beyond this limit will be omitted.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or upload more than 22 records in a single transaction or batch process. This limit is often set to ensure system performance and stability, as processing too many records at once can lead to performance issues or timeouts.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Batch Processing: Split your data into smaller batches, ensuring that each batch contains no more than 22 records. You can then process each batch sequentially.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the limit should be higher based on your business requirements, you may want to check with your SAP administrator or support team to see if the limit can be adjusted in the system configuration. However, this is generally not recommended without thorough testing.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data upload or processing logic to catch this error and handle it gracefully, such as by automatically splitting the records into smaller batches.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or function module you are using to see if there are any additional guidelines or best practices for handling record limits.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in various transaction codes or during data uploads, such as LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench), BAPIs, or custom programs.
  Performance Considerations: Always consider the performance implications of processing large volumes of data in SAP. Smaller batches can help maintain system performance and reduce the risk of errors.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional context or solutions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully process your records within the constraints of the SAP system.
