NAA451 - Details

• The SAP error message NAA451: Too many sort fields were entered typically occurs when a user tries to sort data in a report or transaction, and the number of sort fields exceeds the allowed limit set by the system. This can happen in various SAP modules, especially in reporting transactions where sorting options are provided.
  
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Sort Field Limit: Each SAP report or transaction has a predefined limit on the number of sort fields that can be used. If a user attempts to sort by more fields than allowed, this error will be triggered.
  Configuration Settings: The limit on sort fields can be influenced by system configuration settings or specific report design.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce the Number of Sort Fields: Review the sort fields you have selected and remove any unnecessary ones. Try to limit the number of sort fields to the maximum allowed by the system.
  Check Documentation: Refer to the specific report or transaction
