• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADPTM100 - Selection too big - process restricted to & orders ?

  The SAP error message ADPTM100 indicates that the selection criteria you have used in a transaction or report have resulted in too many records being selected, exceeding the system's processing limits. This is a common issue in SAP when dealing with large datasets, and it is designed to prevent performance degradation or system overload.
  Cause:
  
  Large Data Volume: The selection criteria you applied may have matched a very large number of records in the database.
  System Configuration: The system may have specific limits set for the maximum number of records that can be processed in a single operation.
  Inefficient Selection Criteria: The filters or selection parameters used may not be specific enough, leading to a broad selection of records.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Narrow down your selection criteria to reduce the number of records being processed. This can include:
  
  Adding more specific filters (e.g., date ranges, status, specific IDs).
  Using additional selection fields to limit the dataset.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing: If applicable, consider processing the data in smaller batches. This can be done by:
  
  Dividing the selection into smaller time frames or groups.
  Using pagination if the transaction supports it.
  
  
  
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to check if the system settings can be adjusted to allow for larger selections, though this is generally not recommended due to performance concerns.
  
  
  Use Background Processing: If the transaction allows, consider running the report or transaction in the background, which may handle larger datasets more effectively.
  
  
  Review Transaction Limits: Some transactions have hard-coded limits. Check the documentation or consult with SAP support to understand these limits and how they can be managed.
