  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP01104 Too many restrictions (error number &1) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there are too many restrictions applied to a planning object, such as a planning book or a query. This can lead to performance issues or exceed system limits.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Restrictions: The error is triggered when the number of restrictions (like filters or conditions) applied to a planning query exceeds the allowable limit set by the system.

  Optimize Queries: Look for ways to optimize the planning queries. This may involve restructuring how data is queried or displayed.
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to check if there are configuration settings that can be adjusted to allow for more restrictions.
