• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX2201 - Selection for the display is too big, &1 of &2 items are displayed ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX2201 indicates that the selection criteria for a display operation (such as a report or transaction) has resulted in too many items being selected for display. Specifically, it states that the number of items being displayed exceeds the system's limit, which can lead to performance issues or make it impractical to view all the data at once.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the selection criteria used in a transaction or report results in a dataset that is too large. This can happen due to:
  
  Broad selection criteria that do not sufficiently narrow down the results.
  A large volume of data in the database that matches the selection criteria.
  System limitations on the number of records that can be displayed at once.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Narrow down your selection criteria to reduce the number of items being retrieved. This can include:
  
  Adding more specific filters (e.g., date ranges, specific account numbers, or other relevant fields).
  Using additional selection parameters to limit the dataset.
  
  
  
  Use Pagination: If the transaction or report supports it, consider using pagination or batch processing to view the data in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  
  
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to check if there are any configurable limits on the number of records that can be displayed and whether these can be adjusted.
  
  
  Review Data Volume: If the dataset is inherently large, consider whether it is necessary to retrieve all records at once. You might want to analyze the data in smaller segments or use summary reports.
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports: If the standard report is not suitable due to the volume of data, look for alternative reports or tools that can handle larger datasets more efficiently.
