• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLANNING_SET005 - Profile settings limit the selection to &1 hits ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLANNING_SET005 indicates that the profile settings in the Transportation Management System (TMS) limit the selection of planning items to a certain number of hits, which is specified by &1. This typically occurs when the number of planning items exceeds the predefined limit set in the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Settings: The error is primarily caused by the profile settings in the TMS configuration that restrict the number of items that can be selected or processed at one time. This is often done to optimize performance and avoid overwhelming the system with too many records.
  High Volume of Data: If you are trying to process a large number of planning items (e.g., shipments, transportation requests), it may exceed the limit set in the profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust Profile Settings:
  
  Navigate to the TMS configuration settings in your SAP system.
  Look for the profile settings related to planning or selection limits.
  Increase the limit for the number of hits that can be selected. This may involve changing parameters in the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO).
  Ensure that the new limit is reasonable and does not negatively impact system performance.
  
  
  
  Filter Selection:
  
  If increasing the limit is not feasible or advisable, consider applying filters to your selection criteria to reduce the number of planning items being processed at one time.
  Use specific criteria to narrow down the selection, such as date ranges, specific transportation lanes, or statuses.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing:
  
  If applicable, consider processing the planning items in smaller batches to stay within the limits set by the profile.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/PLANNING or SPRO to access the relevant configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for TMS to understand the implications of changing profile settings and best practices for managing large volumes of data.
  Performance Considerations: Be cautious when increasing limits, as this can lead to performance issues if the system is not capable of handling the increased load.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after making adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or TMS support team for further assistance.
