• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV808 - Not all columns in the table can be displayed in the list ?

  The SAP error message SV808, which states "Not all columns in the table can be displayed in the list," typically occurs when you are trying to display a table or a list in SAP that has more columns than can be shown in the current display settings or screen layout. This can happen in various SAP transactions or reports where the output is limited by the screen size or configuration.
  Causes:
  
  Screen Size Limitations: The display area of the SAP GUI may not be wide enough to show all the columns of the table.
  Column Configuration: The configuration of the report or transaction may limit the number of columns that can be displayed.
  User Settings: Individual user settings or preferences may restrict the number of columns shown.
