  The SAP error message AJ729 "Too many price entries. Limit the selection." typically occurs when a user attempts to retrieve or process a large number of pricing records in a transaction or report, exceeding the system's predefined limits. This can happen in various contexts, such as during pricing analysis, reporting, or when executing certain transactions that involve price determination.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Data Volume: The primary cause of this error is that the query or transaction is trying to process too many pricing records at once, which exceeds the system's limit.
  Inefficient Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the transaction may be too broad, leading to a large number of records being fetched.

  Refine Selection Criteria: Narrow down the selection criteria to limit the number of price entries being processed. This can include:
  
  Specifying a date range.
  Filtering by specific materials, customers, or other relevant attributes.
  Using additional selection parameters to reduce the dataset.
  
  
  
  Use Pagination: If the transaction supports it, consider implementing pagination or batch processing to handle smaller sets of data at a time.
