• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMU/UI_GSS048 - First item reached; search continues from the end ?

  The SAP error message /PLMU/UI_GSS048 with the description "First item reached; search continues from the end" typically occurs in the context of using the SAP GUI or a specific application where a search or navigation function is being performed. This message indicates that the search has reached the beginning of the list of items, and the system will continue searching from the end of the list.
  Cause:
  
  Search Navigation: This message is often triggered when a user is navigating through a list of items (e.g., in a dropdown or a table) and attempts to go back to the previous item when already at the first item.
  End of List: The system is designed to loop through the list, so when the user tries to go "up" from the first item, it wraps around to the last item in the list.
  
  Solution:
  
  Understanding Navigation: Recognize that this is a normal behavior of the system. If you reach the first item and try to navigate up, the system will automatically take you to the last item.
  Adjust Search Criteria: If you are looking for a specific item, consider refining your search criteria to find the desired item more quickly.
  Use Filters: If applicable, use filters to narrow down the list of items, which can help avoid reaching the first item frequently.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date, as sometimes these messages can be related to bugs that have been fixed in later versions.
