• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMX_POC_WI007 - Max. number of orders exceeded (Narrow down selection) ?

  The SAP error message CMX_POC_WI007, which states "Max. number of orders exceeded (Narrow down selection)," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where there is a limit on the number of orders that can be processed or displayed at one time.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limits: The error is triggered when the number of orders being processed exceeds the predefined limit set in the system. This limit is often in place to ensure system performance and manageability.

  Narrow Down Selection: Modify the selection criteria to reduce the number of orders being processed. This can be done by:
  
  Adding more specific filters (e.g., date ranges, order types, status).
  Limiting the selection to a smaller subset of data.
  
  
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to check if the maximum number of orders can be increased in the system configuration. However, this should be done with caution, as increasing limits may impact system performance.
  Batch Processing: If applicable, consider processing orders in smaller batches rather than all at once.
