• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL013 - Selection without criteria: All assignments are sought -> Performance ?

  The SAP error message MILL013, which states "Selection without criteria: All assignments are sought -> Performance," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires specific selection criteria, but none have been provided. This can lead to performance issues because the system may attempt to process a large volume of data without any filters.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Selection Criteria: The user has not entered any selection criteria in the report or transaction screen, leading the system to consider all possible records.

  Review Default Settings: Check if the report has default settings that can be adjusted to include more relevant filters. This can often be done in the selection screen of the report.
