  The SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL048 with the description "Reconsider this combination" typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or SAP Query-related functionalities. This error indicates that there is an issue with the combination of fields or criteria that you are trying to use in your query.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Field Combinations: The fields or criteria you are trying to combine in your query may not be compatible with each other. This can happen if the fields belong to different tables that do not have a valid join condition.

  Test with Simplified Criteria: Try running the query with fewer fields or simpler criteria to isolate the issue. Gradually add fields back to identify which combination is causing the error.
