  The SAP error message OIJ_NOM500 indicates that too many planning locations have been selected in a particular transaction or screen, which exceeds the system's limit for processing. This error is commonly encountered in the context of SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) applications, particularly when dealing with planning and optimization tasks.

  Reduce Selection: Review the selected planning locations and reduce the number to stay within the system's limits. Try to select a smaller subset of locations for your planning task.
  Check Configuration: If you frequently encounter this issue, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to check if the configuration settings can be adjusted to allow for more locations, if appropriate for your business processes.
  Batch Processing: If you need to work with a large number of locations, consider breaking the task into smaller batches and processing them sequentially.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the limitations of the system and the best practices for selecting planning locations.
