• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5Y071 - More declarations selected than the ones displayed by the program ?

  The SAP error message 5Y071 ("More declarations selected than the ones displayed by the program") typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there is a mismatch between the number of declarations that the user is trying to process and the number of declarations that the program is able to display or handle at that moment.
  Cause:
  
  Data Volume: The error often arises when the user attempts to select a large number of declarations that exceed the limits set by the program or the system configuration.
  Program Limitations: The program may have a predefined limit on how many declarations it can process or display at once.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used may inadvertently lead to selecting more declarations than the program can handle.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Selection Criteria: Try to narrow down your selection criteria to reduce the number of declarations being processed. This can be done by applying more specific filters or parameters.
  Batch Processing: If possible, process the declarations in smaller batches rather than selecting all at once. This can help avoid hitting the limits set by the program.
  Check Program Settings: Consult with your SAP administrator or developer to check if there are any configurable settings in the program that can be adjusted to allow for a higher number of declarations to be processed.
  Review Documentation: Look for any documentation related to the specific program you are using to see if there are known limitations or recommended practices for handling declarations.
