• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FE753 - Structure & contains more than 99 subitems ?

  The SAP error message FE753, which states "Structure & contains more than 99 subitems," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a structure in SAP that exceeds the limit of 99 subitems (or components) allowed in a single structure. This limit is imposed by the SAP system to ensure performance and manageability.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to define a structure (like a table or a data structure) that has more than 99 fields or components.
  You are working with a data structure in a program, function module, or any other object that has a limitation on the number of subitems.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Subitems:
  
  Review the structure you are trying to create or modify and see if you can reduce the number of fields. This might involve:
  
  Combining similar fields into a single field (e.g., using a concatenated string).
  Removing any unnecessary fields that are not critical for your application.
  
  
  
  
  
  Split the Structure:
  
  If reducing the number of fields is not feasible, consider splitting the structure into multiple smaller structures. You can then reference these smaller structures in your program or function module as needed.
  
  
  
  Use Nested Structures:
  
  If applicable, you can create nested structures where one structure contains another. This way, you can keep the number of fields in each individual structure below the limit while still maintaining the overall data organization.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Reassess the data model to ensure that it is designed efficiently. Sometimes, a redesign can help in managing the data better and avoiding such limitations.
