• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KZ802 - Function not possible - maximum number of items reached ?

  The SAP error message KZ802: Function not possible - maximum number of items reached typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or when working with internal orders, cost centers, or other related objects. This error indicates that the system has reached the maximum limit of items that can be processed in a particular transaction or function.
  Causes:
  
  Item Limit Reached: Each SAP transaction or function has a predefined limit on the number of items (e.g., line items in a document, entries in a table) that can be processed. When this limit is exceeded, the error is triggered.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of items may be set in the system configuration, and it may not be sufficient for the current business process.
  Data Volume: High data volume in a particular transaction or document can lead to this error, especially if multiple items are being processed simultaneously.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Reduce the Number of Items: If possible, try to reduce the number of items being processed in a single transaction. For example, if you are trying to post a document with many line items, consider splitting it into multiple smaller documents.
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings related to the specific transaction or function. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or CO consultant to adjust the limits if necessary.
  Batch Processing: If applicable, consider using batch processing or background jobs to handle large volumes of data, which can help avoid hitting the item limit.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on increasing limits.
  System Upgrade: In some cases, upgrading to a newer version of SAP may resolve the issue if the newer version has improved handling of item limits.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error may occur in various transaction codes related to CO, such as KO01 (Create Internal Order), KO02 (Change Internal Order), or others.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for specific modules (like CO) for more details on item limits and configuration settings.
  Performance Considerations: If you frequently encounter this error, it may indicate a need to review your business processes and data management strategies to optimize performance and avoid hitting system limits.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation and resolution.
