• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NGC_CORE_CHR001 - Check table &1 has &2 entries; F4 help only supported for max. &3 entries ?

  The SAP error message NGC_CORE_CHR001 indicates that the system is trying to provide F4 help (value help) for a check table that has more entries than the maximum allowed for F4 help. The message typically states that the check table &1 has &2 entries, but F4 help is only supported for a maximum of &3 entries.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Entries: The check table specified in the error message has more entries than the system can handle for F4 help. This is often due to a large dataset that exceeds the predefined limit for F4 help.
  Configuration Limits: The system has a configuration limit for the number of entries that can be displayed in the F4 help dialog. This limit is set to prevent performance issues when retrieving and displaying large datasets.
  
  Solution:
  
  Filter the Data: If possible, apply filters to reduce the number of entries in the check table. This can be done by using selection criteria in the input fields before invoking F4 help.
  Custom F4 Help: If the standard F4 help is not sufficient, consider implementing a custom F4 help that can handle larger datasets or provide a more user-friendly way to search through the entries.
  Review Table Entries: Check if the number of entries in the check table can be reduced by archiving old or unnecessary data.
  Increase Limit (if applicable): In some cases, it may be possible to adjust the system settings to increase the maximum number of entries allowed for F4 help. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires consulting with your SAP Basis or technical team.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
