• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD2077 - There are more than &1 values; narrow down the selection ?

  The SAP error message USMD2077 indicates that a selection criteria in a data selection process (often related to Master Data Governance or similar applications) has returned more values than the system can handle or that are relevant for the operation being performed. This typically occurs when a query or selection criteria is too broad, resulting in an excessive number of records being retrieved.
