• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/SELMODEL005 - No. of results exceeds no. of rows (&1) displayed; some data not visible ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/SELMODEL005 indicates that the number of results returned by a query exceeds the number of rows that can be displayed in the user interface. This typically occurs in scenarios where a large dataset is being processed, and the system is configured to limit the number of rows displayed for performance reasons.
  Cause:

  Configuration Settings: The settings in the SAP system may limit the number of rows displayed to prevent performance issues.
  Inefficient Query: The query being executed may not be optimized, leading to an excessive number of results.

  Adjust Display Settings: 
  
  Check the configuration settings for the maximum number of rows displayed. This can often be adjusted in the user settings or application settings.
  If you have access, you can increase the limit to allow more rows to be displayed.
