SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: NI - Document index processing

• Message number: 125

• Message text: Save the selection parameters in a variant (See long text)

What causes this issue?

You selected the 'new run' indicator. If the report is terminated, for
example, if the time is overrun. You can restart the report from the
next document to be processed. You should create a variant for this. If
you do not, when you restart the program run, too many documents may be
selected because no selection criteria have been entered.
The system automatically only retains the document number interval you
entered, and the last document to be successfully processed.
When the program run is continued, you must enter the other selection
criteria again.

How to fix this error?

If necessary, create a variant. When the program run is restarted, you
can call this variant. You then only need to deselect the 'new run'
indicator.
