• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E7035 - Limit your selection ?

  The SAP error message E7035 ("Limit your selection") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that retrieves too many records or data entries, exceeding the system's predefined limits. This is a safeguard to prevent performance issues and ensure that the system remains responsive.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Data Retrieval: The user is trying to fetch a large volume of data that exceeds the limits set by the system.
  System Configuration: The system may have specific settings that restrict the number of records that can be processed or displayed at one time.
  Inefficient Query: The query or selection criteria used may not be optimized, leading to an unnecessarily large dataset being requested.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Narrow down the selection criteria to limit the number of records being retrieved. This can include:
  
  Adding more specific filters (e.g., date ranges, status, or other relevant fields).
  Using additional selection parameters to reduce the dataset size.
  
  
  
  Use Pagination: If the report or transaction supports it, consider using pagination to retrieve data in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  
  
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to review and adjust the system settings related to data retrieval limits if necessary. However, this should be done cautiously to avoid performance degradation.
  
  
  Optimize Queries: If you are using custom queries or reports, consider optimizing them to ensure they are efficient and do not request more data than necessary.
  
  
  Use Background Processing: If applicable, run the report in the background instead of the foreground, which may allow for larger data sets to be processed without hitting the limit.
