• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH863 - No more room in display area ?

  The SAP error message KH863: No more room in display area typically occurs when the output display area in SAP is full and cannot accommodate additional data. This can happen in various contexts, such as when generating reports, displaying lists, or working with certain transactions that output a significant amount of data.
  Causes:
  
  Excessive Data Output: The most common cause is that the report or transaction is trying to display too much data at once, exceeding the limits of the display area.
  Screen Size Limitations: The SAP GUI has limitations on how much data can be displayed in a single screen or list.
  Buffer Limitations: The internal buffer for displaying data may be full, preventing additional data from being shown.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Limit Data Output:
  
  Use selection criteria to filter the data before executing the report or transaction. This can help reduce the amount of data being displayed at once.
  If applicable, consider using pagination or breaking the output into smaller chunks.
  
  
  
  Adjust Display Settings:
  
  Check if there are settings in the SAP GUI that can be adjusted to allow for more data to be displayed. This may include changing the layout or display options.
  
  
  
  Use Different Output Formats:
  
  Instead of displaying data directly in the SAP GUI, consider exporting the data to a file (e.g., Excel, CSV) or using print options to generate a report that can be viewed outside of the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP GUI is up to date, as newer versions may have improved handling for display areas and data output.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
