The SAP error message MI560, which states "Insertion not possible since maximum number of subscreens reached," typically occurs in the context of the SAP GUI when a user attempts to add a new subscreen to a transaction or a program that has already reached the maximum limit of subscreens allowed.
Cause:
- Maximum Subscreen Limit: SAP has a predefined limit on the number of subscreens that can be included in a single screen. This limit is usually set to prevent performance issues and maintain usability.
- Screen Design: The screen you are working with may have been designed with too many subscreens, or there may be an attempt to dynamically add more subscreens than the system allows.
- Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the transaction, they might be contributing to the excessive number of subscreens.
Solution:
- Review Subscreen Usage: Check the current subscreens being used in the transaction. You may need to remove or consolidate some subscreens to stay within the limit.
- Modify Screen Design: If you have access to the screen design (using transaction SE80 or SE41), consider redesigning the screen to use fewer subscreens or to combine functionalities into a single subscreen.
- Consult with Developers: If you are not the developer, consult with your ABAP team or SAP consultants to analyze the screen and make necessary adjustments.
- Check for Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements or modifications, review them to ensure they are not unnecessarily adding subscreens.
- SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide guidance on best practices for screen design.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
