• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01104 - Please set limits for your selection ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VHU01104 - Please set limits for your selection
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user executes a report or transaction that requires a selection with limits (such as date ranges, quantity ranges, or other selection criteria), but the user has not specified any limiting criteria. The system prevents the execution to avoid processing an excessively large dataset, which could lead to performance issues or system overload.
  
  Explanation:
  Many SAP reports or selection screens require users to enter selection criteria that limit the volume of data processed. If no limits are set, the system throws this error to prompt the user to narrow down the selection.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Set appropriate selection limits:
  
  On the selection screen, specify at least one limiting criterion such as:
  
  Date range (e.g., posting date, document date)
  Document number range
  Customer/vendor number range
  Material number range
  Any other relevant filter fields available on the selection screen
  
  
  
  Check default values:
  
  Sometimes, default values might be missing or cleared. Ensure that the selection screen fields are filled correctly.
  
  
  Use "Select All" cautiously:
  
  Avoid running reports without any filters unless explicitly allowed.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a safeguard to prevent long-running queries or dumps due to large data volumes.
  If you believe your selection is already limited but still get this error, verify that the selection criteria are correctly entered and saved.
  In some cases, the selection screen might have mandatory fields that must be filled.
  If you are a developer or system administrator, you can check the program logic or selection screen configuration to understand which fields are considered as limits.
