  The SAP error message /SAPPO/MSG226 indicates that the system is unable to process the next 100 orders in the list because they are either locked or do not meet the specified filter criteria. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of Purchase Order (PO) processing or similar transactional environments.
  Causes:
  
  Locked Orders: The orders you are trying to access may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another user is currently editing the order or if a background job is processing it.
  Filter Criteria: The orders may not match the filter criteria you have set in your selection screen. This could be due to incorrect filter settings or parameters that exclude the orders you are trying to view.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view or edit certain orders, leading to them being considered "locked" for your user.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, it may not be able to retrieve the orders efficiently, leading to timeouts or locks.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the orders. If you find that the orders are locked, you can either wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked the order to resolve the issue.
  Review Filter Settings: Double-check the filter criteria you are using. Ensure that the parameters are set correctly and that they include the orders you want to view.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access the orders. You may need to contact your SAP security team to ensure your user role has the appropriate permissions.
  Increase the Number of Orders: If you are consistently running into this issue, consider increasing the number of orders displayed in the list or adjusting the selection criteria to reduce the number of locked orders.
  System Performance: If the issue is related to system performance, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any performance bottlenecks or issues with the database.
