• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY147 - The graphic can be generated for a maximum of 32 orders ?

  The SAP error message CY147 indicates that the system is unable to generate a graphic (such as a Gantt chart or similar visual representation) because the number of orders selected exceeds the maximum limit of 32. This limit is set to ensure performance and usability, as generating graphics for a large number of orders can be resource-intensive and may lead to performance issues.
  Cause:
  
  The user is attempting to generate a graphic for more than 32 orders in a single request.
  This limitation is typically in place to maintain system performance and avoid overwhelming the graphical rendering capabilities.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Orders: 
  
  Modify your selection criteria to limit the number of orders to 32 or fewer. You can do this by filtering the orders based on specific criteria (e.g., date range, order type, status).
  
  
  
  Batch Processing:
  
  If you need to analyze more than 32 orders, consider breaking down your request into smaller batches. Generate graphics for groups of 32 orders at a time.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Reporting Tools:
  
  If you frequently need to analyze a larger number of orders, consider using alternative reporting tools or methods that can handle larger datasets without the same limitations.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  In some cases, the limit may be configurable. Consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to see if there is a way to adjust this limit, although this is not commonly recommended due to potential performance impacts.
