  The SAP error message /SPE/ID_HANDLING152 Package size greater than 10000 not allowed. Size was set to maximum typically occurs in the context of SAP's IDoc processing or when handling large data packages in the SAP system. This error indicates that the size of the data package being processed exceeds the allowed limit of 10,000 bytes.
  Cause:
  
  Data Volume: The primary cause of this error is that the data being processed (such as IDocs, BAPIs, or other data transfers) exceeds the maximum allowed size of 10,000 bytes.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have been configured to limit the size of data packages for performance or stability reasons.
  Inefficient Data Handling: The way data is being collected or sent may be inefficient, leading to larger-than-necessary package sizes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Data Size: 
  
  If possible, break down the data into smaller chunks or batches that are less than 10,000 bytes. This can be done by processing fewer records at a time.
  Review the data being sent to ensure that only necessary fields are included, thus reducing the overall size.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you have control over the configuration, you may consider adjusting the maximum package size limit. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires a thorough understanding of the implications on system performance and stability.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to see if there are any settings that can be adjusted in the relevant configuration tables.
  
  
  
  Optimize Data Handling:
  
  Review the logic used to collect and send data. Ensure that it is optimized to minimize the size of the data being processed.
  Consider using compression techniques if applicable.
