- Selected menu has too many entries to be expanded ?The SAP error message EC017 ("Selected menu has too many entries to be expanded") typically occurs when a user attempts to access a menu or transaction that contains an excessive number of entries. This can happen in various contexts, such as when navigating through a large number of transactions or when using a menu that has many sub-items.
Cause: Excessive Menu Entries: The primary cause of this error is that the menu or transaction you are trying to access has too many entries for SAP to handle in a single expansion. This limit is set to prevent performance issues and ensure that the system remains responsive. System Configuration: The configuration of the SAP system may have limits on how many entries can be displayed or expanded in a menu.
Solution: Narrow Down the Selection: Instead of trying to expand a large menu, try to navigate to a more specific area or use transaction codes directly.
