• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_IST_SO_MSG011 - More than &1 objects found - restrict your selection ?

  The SAP error message CRM_IST_SO_MSG011 indicates that a query or selection has returned more than the allowed number of objects (in this case, more than &1 objects). This typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when a user attempts to retrieve or display a list of objects (such as sales orders, opportunities, etc.) that exceeds the system's predefined limit.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Object Limit: The system has a limit on the number of objects that can be retrieved in a single query to prevent performance issues. When the number of objects exceeds this limit, the error is triggered.
  Broad Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the query may be too broad, resulting in a large number of records being returned.
  System Configuration: The limit for the number of objects returned may be configured in the system settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Narrow down your selection criteria to reduce the number of objects returned. This can include:
  
  Adding more specific filters (e.g., date ranges, status, specific customers).
  Using additional fields to limit the search results.
  
  
  
  Pagination: If applicable, implement pagination in your query to retrieve results in smaller batches rather than all at once.
  
  
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP administrator to check if the limit for the number of objects returned can be adjusted in the system settings. However, be cautious with this approach as increasing the limit may impact system performance.
  
  
  Use Advanced Search Options: If available, utilize advanced search options or features in the SAP CRM interface that allow for more refined searches.
  
  
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data being queried, as sometimes restrictions can lead to unexpected results.
