• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_REPORT_INFOSYS105 - A maximum of &1 entries are allowed in the selection table ?

  The SAP error message CM_REPORT_INFOSYS105 indicates that a maximum limit has been reached for the number of entries allowed in a selection table. This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a report or transaction that involves a selection table with too many entries, exceeding the predefined limit set by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Entry Limit: The error is triggered when the number of entries in the selection table exceeds the maximum allowed limit. This limit is often set to prevent performance issues and ensure efficient processing.
  Large Data Set: If you are trying to process a large dataset or have included too many selection criteria, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Settings: The limit may be defined in the system configuration, and it can vary based on the specific report or transaction being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Entries: Review the selection criteria you are using and try to reduce the number of entries. This can be done by:
  
  Narrowing down the selection criteria.
  Using ranges instead of individual entries where possible.
  Filtering out unnecessary data before executing the report.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing: If you need to process a large number of entries, consider breaking them into smaller batches and executing the report multiple times with different subsets of data.
  
  
  Check System Configuration: If you believe that the limit is too restrictive for your needs, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to see if the limit can be adjusted in the system configuration.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If the report allows, consider using alternative methods for data extraction, such as using ABAP programs or other reporting tools that can handle larger datasets.
