• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EC098 - All selectable keys have been selected ?

  The SAP error message EC098, which states "All selectable keys have been selected," typically occurs in the context of SAP's configuration or data selection processes, particularly when working with variant configuration or when trying to create or modify a selection variant.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the system has reached a limit where all available keys or options for selection have been chosen. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Variant Configuration: When configuring a product, if all the characteristics or keys that can be selected have already been selected, the system will not allow further selections.

  Solution:
  To resolve the EC098 error, you can try the following steps:
  
  Review Selections: Check the selections you have made. If you have selected all available options, consider deselecting some to allow for new selections.
  Modify Configuration: If you are working with variant configuration, review the characteristics and their dependencies. You may need to adjust the configuration to allow for more flexible selections.
  Check Limits: In some cases, there may be system-defined limits on the number of selectable keys. Consult with your SAP administrator or check the configuration settings to see if these limits can be adjusted.
  Use Different Criteria: If applicable, try using different criteria or filters to narrow down your selection instead of selecting all available keys.
