• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KM892 - Maximum number of document lines exceeded ?

  The SAP error message KM892, which states "Maximum number of document lines exceeded," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a document (such as a purchase order, invoice, or other transactional documents) that exceeds the system's limit for the number of line items allowed in that document.
  Cause:
  
  Line Item Limit: Each document type in SAP has a predefined maximum number of line items that can be included. This limit is set in the system configuration and can vary based on the document type and the specific SAP module being used.
  Configuration Settings: The limit may be configured in the system settings, and it may not be appropriate for your business needs, leading to this error when trying to add more line items than allowed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Line Items: The simplest solution is to reduce the number of line items in the document you are trying to create or modify. Review the items and see if you can consolidate or remove any unnecessary entries.
  Check Configuration: If you frequently encounter this error and need to work with a larger number of line items, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to check the configuration settings for the document type in question. They may be able to increase the maximum number of allowed line items.
  Split Documents: If increasing the limit is not feasible, consider splitting the document into multiple smaller documents, each containing fewer line items.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources specific to the module you are using to understand the limits and best practices for managing line items.
