M7689 - Details

• The SAP error message M7689, which states "Restrict your selection," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report that returns too many records or data entries, exceeding the system's limits for processing or displaying results. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in materials management (MM) or inventory management (IM), where large datasets are common.
  
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Data Volume: The selection criteria used in the transaction or report may be too broad, resulting in a large number of records being retrieved.
  System Limitations: SAP has built-in limits to prevent performance issues, and if the query exceeds these limits, the system will prompt this error.
  Missing Filters: The user may not have applied sufficient filters to narrow down the data set.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Modify the selection parameters to be more specific. For example, if you are querying materials, consider adding filters such as material type, plant, or date range.
