• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P5015 - More than 200 objects selected ?

  The SAP error message P5015 ("More than 200 objects selected") typically occurs when a user attempts to process or display a list of objects (such as materials, customers, or other master data) that exceeds the system's limit of 200 objects in a single operation. This limit is often in place to prevent performance issues and to ensure that the system remains responsive.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a user tries to execute a transaction or report that involves selecting more than 200 objects at once. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Running a report that retrieves a large number of records.
  Trying to process a batch of materials or other entities in a single transaction.
  Using selection criteria that inadvertently results in a large dataset.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the P5015 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Reduce the Selection Criteria: Modify your selection criteria to limit the number of objects being processed. For example, if you are filtering by date, status, or other attributes, try to narrow down the range.
  
  
  Process in Batches: If you need to work with a large number of objects, consider breaking them down into smaller batches. For instance, if you have 500 materials, you could process them in groups of 100.
  
  
  Use Variants: If you are running a report, consider creating variants that allow you to save specific selection criteria. This can help you manage and run reports more efficiently.
  
  
  Check for Unnecessary Selections: Review your selection criteria to ensure that you are not including unnecessary fields or conditions that could increase the number of selected objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific transactions or reports to understand their limitations and best practices.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you consistently encounter this error and cannot find a suitable workaround, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The error can occur in various transaction codes, depending on the context (e.g., MM01, MM02 for material master, or other relevant transactions).
  Performance Considerations: Always be mindful of performance when working with large datasets in SAP. Limiting the number of records processed at one time can help maintain system performance.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance on handling large selections.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the P5015 error and continue your work in SAP without further issues.
