• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6D837 - Selection contracts = '&' selects all lease-outs (runtime!) ?

  The SAP error message 6D837 indicates that the selection criteria for a report or transaction related to lease-outs (such as contracts) are too broad, resulting in the system attempting to process all lease-outs. This can lead to performance issues or runtime errors due to the large volume of data being processed.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs when:
  
  The selection criteria for the report or transaction are not specific enough, leading to the selection of all lease-out contracts.
  The system is unable to handle the volume of data being selected, which can cause performance degradation or timeouts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria:
  
  Narrow down the selection criteria in the report or transaction. Instead of selecting all lease-outs, specify additional filters such as:
  
  Date ranges
  Specific contract types
  Status of the contracts
  Other relevant attributes that can help limit the selection.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Default Values:
  
  Ensure that there are no default values set in the selection screen that might be causing the selection of all records.
  
  
  
  Use Variants:
  
  If you frequently run reports, consider creating variants with predefined selection criteria that are more specific.
  
  
  
  Performance Optimization:
  
  If you are working with a large dataset, consider running the report during off-peak hours to reduce the load on the system.
  Consult with your SAP Basis team to check if there are any performance tuning options available for the database or application server.
