FI_E250 - Details

• The SAP error message FI_E250 indicates that the performance of a process is expected to be low when handling over 100,000 records. This message is typically a warning rather than a critical error, and it serves to inform users that processing a large volume of data may lead to performance issues.
  
  Cause:
  
  Large Data Volume: The primary cause of this message is the processing of a large number of records (over 100,000). This can occur in various transactions, such as financial postings, data uploads, or batch processing jobs.
  System Resources: Insufficient system resources (CPU, memory, I/O) can exacerbate performance issues when processing large datasets.
  Inefficient Queries: If the underlying database queries are not optimized, they can lead to longer processing times.
  Lock Contention: High contention for database locks can slow down processing, especially in a multi-user environment.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Batch Processing: Instead of processing all records at once, consider breaking the data into smaller batches. This can help
