The number of different records with source fields for which
assignments are being sought exceeds system capabilities.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Reduce the number of source fields (data on the user interface). For
example, try to limit the input data by entering specific values for
some or all of the source fields. Note that when only the checkbox
relevant to a source field is checked without particular values entered
for that source field, the program considers all appropriate data for
that field.
