  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your SAP system to see if there are any parameters that can be adjusted to allow for a higher number of POBs to be processed together.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the selected POBs do not have any data integrity issues. Check for any inconsistencies or conflicts in the data that might be causing the error.
