• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ON207 - List too wide. One part of the relationships is not displayed. ?

  The SAP error message ON207 "List too wide. One part of the relationships is not displayed." typically occurs when the output of a report or transaction exceeds the maximum width that can be displayed on the screen or printed. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in those that deal with lists or reports, such as SAP MM (Materials Management) or SAP SD (Sales and Distribution).
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Data Width: The report or list being generated has too many columns or the data in the columns is too wide, causing the output to exceed the display limits.
  Screen Resolution: The resolution of the display or the settings of the SAP GUI may not be able to accommodate the width of the list.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the SAP system for list display may not be optimized for the data being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust Column Width: If possible, try to reduce the number of columns displayed in the report or adjust the width of the columns to fit within the display limits.
  Use Selection Criteria: Narrow down the selection criteria to limit the amount of data being retrieved, which can help reduce the overall width of the list.
  Change Display Settings: Check the SAP GUI settings and adjust the display settings to accommodate wider lists. This may include changing the font size or screen resolution.
  Export to Excel: If the list is too wide for the SAP GUI, consider exporting the report to Excel or another format where you can view the data without width restrictions.
  Use Pagination: If the report allows, use pagination to break the data into smaller, more manageable sections.
