• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER058 - More than & orders found; restrict your selection ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER058 indicates that a query or selection has returned more orders than the system can handle in a single operation. This typically occurs in the context of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module when a user attempts to retrieve or process a large number of orders without applying sufficient filters or restrictions.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Data Volume: The query or selection criteria used to retrieve orders is too broad, resulting in a large number of records being returned.
  System Limitations: SAP has built-in limits to prevent performance issues when processing large datasets. This error is a safeguard to ensure that the system remains responsive.
  Missing Filters: The user may not have applied adequate filters to narrow down the selection of orders.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Modify the selection parameters to be more specific. This could involve:
  
  Adding date ranges (e.g., order creation date).
  Specifying order types or statuses.
  Limiting the selection to specific organizational units or plants.
  
  
  
  Use Pagination: If applicable, implement pagination in your queries to retrieve data in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view the orders. Sometimes, restrictions can lead to unexpected results.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or report you are using to understand the recommended practices for filtering data.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after refining the selection criteria, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if you suspect a system configuration issue.
