• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C0759 - Max. number of orders exceeded. Restrict your selection ?

  The SAP error message C0759, which states "Max. number of orders exceeded. Restrict your selection," typically occurs when a user attempts to process or display a list of orders that exceeds the maximum limit set by the system. This limit is in place to ensure system performance and usability.

  Exceeding Limits: The error is triggered when the number of orders selected in a transaction exceeds the predefined limit set in the system configuration.
  Large Data Set: The user may be trying to retrieve or process a large dataset without applying sufficient filters to narrow down the selection.
