  The SAP error message FINS_PRED011 indicates that a new Financial Accounting (FI) document has a certain number of line items, which exceeds the allowed limit set in the system. This error typically arises during the posting of financial documents, such as invoices or journal entries, when the number of line items exceeds the predefined threshold.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Line Item Limit: The primary cause of this error is that the number of line items in the document exceeds the maximum limit configured in the system. This limit is often set for performance reasons or to maintain data integrity.
  Configuration Settings: The limit for line items can be configured in the system settings, and it may vary based on the specific requirements of the organization or the version of SAP being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Line Item Count: Review the document you are trying to post and check the number of line items. If it exceeds the limit, consider splitting the document into multiple postings.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process requires a higher number of line items, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the configuration settings in the SAP system (usually done by a system administrator or consultant).
  Navigating to the relevant configuration area (e.g., Financial Accounting settings).
  Increasing the maximum allowed line items for FI documents.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the implications of changing this setting and ensure it aligns with your organization's policies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OBY6 (for company code settings) or SPRO (to access the configuration menu) to make necessary changes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling line item limits.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that increasing the line item limit may have performance implications, especially if documents with a very high number of line items are processed frequently.
