  Refine Search Criteria:
  
  Use more specific filters to narrow down the search results. This could include adding additional fields or criteria that are relevant to the search.
  Consider using date ranges, specific statuses, or other attributes that can help limit the number of records returned.
  
  
  
  Pagination:

  Check System Settings:
  
  Consult with your SAP administrator to see if there are any configurable limits on search results that can be adjusted.
