  The SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1311 Maximum no. &1 for user-defined texts of user-def. text type &2 exceeded indicates that a user-defined text type has reached its maximum limit for the number of entries allowed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that allow for user-defined texts, such as in the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module.
