• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_BTX_EEW_TASK003 - More than 10 extensions cannot be displayed in the SAP GUI ?

  The SAP error message CRM_BTX_EEW_TASK003 indicates that more than 10 extensions (or additional fields) are being attempted to be displayed in the SAP GUI, which exceeds the limit set by the system. This is a common issue in SAP CRM when working with business transactions that have multiple extensions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the SAP GUI has a limitation on the number of extensions that can be displayed at one time. When a user tries to display more than 10 extensions, the system generates this error to prevent performance issues and ensure usability.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Limit the Number of Extensions: Review the extensions being used in the transaction and limit them to 10 or fewer. This may involve customizing the view or the layout of the transaction to only include the most relevant fields.
  
  
  Use SAP Fiori or Web UI: If possible, consider using SAP Fiori or the Web UI, which may have different limitations and can handle more extensions more gracefully than the traditional SAP GUI.
  
  
  Custom Development: If the business requirement necessitates displaying more than 10 extensions, you may need to engage with your SAP development team to create a custom solution that can handle the additional fields without hitting the limit.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your SAP system to see if there are any parameters that can be adjusted to allow for more extensions to be displayed.
  
  
  User Training: Educate users on how to effectively use the available extensions and prioritize the most important ones to avoid hitting the limit.
