• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F8023 - More than & line items were transferred ?

  The SAP error message F8023 ("More than & line items were transferred") typically occurs when you are trying to process a transaction that exceeds the maximum number of line items allowed in a single document or transaction. This limit is set in the system configuration and can vary based on the specific transaction or document type you are working with.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Line Item Limit: The most common cause of this error is that the number of line items you are trying to process exceeds the predefined limit set in the SAP system.
  Configuration Settings: The limit for line items can be configured in the system settings, and it may be set to a lower number than what you are trying to process.
  Batch Input Sessions: If you are using batch input sessions, the number of line items in a session may also be limited.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Line Items: The simplest solution is to reduce the number of line items in your transaction. Split the transaction into multiple smaller transactions, each containing fewer line items than the limit.
  Check Configuration: If you have access to system configuration, check the settings for the specific transaction type to see if the line item limit can be increased. This typically requires authorization and should be done with caution.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to understand the specific limits for the transaction you are working with.
  Batch Processing: If you are processing data in batches, consider breaking the batch into smaller parts that comply with the line item limit.
