• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSLPO_TOOLS059 - Too many values in selection ?

  The SAP error message RSLPO_TOOLS059: Too many values in selection typically occurs when a selection criterion in a report or transaction is set to accept too many values, exceeding the system's limit. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using selection screens in reports or when defining filters in queries.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Value Limits: SAP has a limit on the number of values that can be processed in a selection. If you are trying to select more values than allowed (for example, in a range or multiple selections), this error will be triggered.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: Sometimes, the selection criteria may be incorrectly set up, leading to an unintended large number of values being selected.
  Performance Issues: The system may restrict the number of values to prevent performance degradation when processing large datasets.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce the Number of Values: Review the selection criteria and reduce the number of values being selected. Instead of selecting a large range, try to narrow it down to a more manageable number.
  Use Ranges: If applicable, use ranges instead of individual values. For example, instead of selecting multiple individual values, you can define a range (e.g., from A to Z).
  Check for Wildcards: If you are using wildcards in your selection, ensure that they are not inadvertently expanding the selection to too many values.
  Split the Selection: If you need to work with a large number of values, consider splitting the selection into smaller batches and processing them separately.
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files for the specific transaction or report you are using to understand the limits and best practices for selection criteria.
