• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR028 - Select less lines for drill down ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR028 Select less lines for drill down typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to drill down into a report or monitor with too many selected lines. This is a performance-related restriction to ensure that the system does not become overloaded with data processing requests.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Selection: The user has selected too many entries (lines) in a report or monitor, exceeding the system's limit for drill-down operations.
  System Performance: The system is designed to limit the number of entries to maintain performance and avoid long processing times or timeouts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Selection: The primary solution is to reduce the number of selected lines. Try to filter the data more specifically or select fewer entries at a time.
  Use Filters: Apply filters to narrow down the data set before attempting to drill down. This can include date ranges, specific warehouse numbers, or other relevant criteria.
  Batch Processing: If you need to analyze a large number of entries, consider processing them in smaller batches rather than all at once.
  Check System Settings: If you frequently encounter this issue and it impacts your workflow, consult with your SAP Basis or EWM administrator to see if system settings can be adjusted to allow for a higher limit, though this should be done with caution to avoid performance degradation.
