• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PO079 - &1 &3 > &2 &3 Number of pages exceeds threshold value ?

  The SAP error message PO079 indicates that the number of pages in a document exceeds a predefined threshold value. This typically occurs in the context of print forms or output documents, where the system has a limit on the number of pages that can be processed or printed in a single output request.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Page Limit: The document you are trying to print or process has more pages than the system's configured threshold.
  Configuration Settings: The threshold value for the number of pages may be set too low in the system configuration.
  Document Size: The document itself may be inherently large due to the amount of data or the complexity of the layout.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Size: Review the document to see if it can be optimized. This may involve reducing the amount of data being printed or simplifying the layout.
  Adjust Threshold Value: If appropriate, you can increase the threshold value in the configuration settings. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the relevant configuration settings in SAP (e.g., SPRO).
  Navigating to the output management or print settings.
  Locating the parameter that defines the maximum number of pages and increasing it.
  
  
  Split the Document: If the document is too large, consider splitting it into smaller parts that can be processed separately.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to adjust the settings for your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
