• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU502 - Only the first 100 entries were found ?

  The SAP error message RU502, which states "Only the first 100 entries were found," typically occurs when a query or report in SAP is limited to returning a maximum of 100 entries. This limitation can be due to system settings or the specific configuration of the report or transaction you are using.
  Cause:
  
  Default Limitation: Many SAP reports and queries have a default setting that limits the number of entries returned to improve performance and manageability.
  Performance Settings: The system may be configured to limit the number of records returned to avoid performance issues, especially in large datasets.
  User Authorization: In some cases, user roles and authorizations may restrict the number of records a user can view.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust the Query/Report Settings:
  
  If you have access, check the settings of the report or query you are running. Look for options to increase the maximum number of entries returned.
  In some cases, you may find a parameter or option to set a higher limit (e.g., 500, 1000, etc.).
  
  
  
  Use Pagination:
  
  If the report supports pagination, you can navigate through the pages to view additional entries beyond the first 100.
  
  
  
  Modify User Settings:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can adjust user-specific settings that may limit the number of entries displayed.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Technical Team:
  
  If you are unable to change the settings yourself, consult with your SAP Basis or technical team. They can help adjust system parameters or provide guidance on how to retrieve more entries.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Reports or Transactions:
  
  If the report you are using is inherently limited, consider using alternative reports or transactions that may provide the data you need without the same limitations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific notes related to the RU502 error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions and workarounds for common issues.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific report or transaction you are using to understand its limitations and configuration options.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that increasing the number of entries returned can impact system performance, especially if the dataset is large. Always consider the trade-off between data visibility and system performance.
