  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP_OM104 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 key figure. This can lead to performance issues or exceed system limits.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Restrictions: The error is triggered when the number of restrictions (like filters, conditions, or constraints) applied to a planning query exceeds the system's predefined limits.

  Review Restrictions: Analyze the restrictions applied to the planning query. Try to simplify the query by reducing the number of restrictions or combining similar ones.
  Optimize Queries: If possible, break down complex queries into simpler ones that require fewer restrictions.
  Check System Settings: Consult with your SAP Basis team to check if there are any configurable limits for restrictions and if they can be adjusted.
  Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning of the planning book or query to improve efficiency and reduce the number of restrictions needed.
  Use Aggregated Data: If applicable, use aggregated data instead of detailed data to reduce the complexity of the query.
