  The SAP error message B1035 "Maximum no. of repetitions exceeded" typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or when dealing with certain data entry forms. This error indicates that a user has attempted to enter more data than the system allows for a specific field or structure, exceeding the predefined limit for repetitions.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Limitations: The error is often triggered when a user tries to input more entries in a table or a field than the system is configured to accept. For example, if a table is set to allow a maximum of 10 entries, and the user tries to enter 11, this error will occur.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of repetitions is usually defined in the system configuration. If the business process requires more entries than allowed, this can lead to the error.

  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the specific field or table where the error is occurring. You may need to increase the maximum number of allowed entries if the business process requires it.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being entered does not exceed the allowed limits. This may involve validating user input before submission.
  Adjust Workflow Settings: If the error is related to a workflow, check the workflow settings to see if the maximum number of repetitions can be adjusted.
