• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR001 - Specify a maximum of 3 fields ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR001 - Specify a maximum of 3 fields
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to specify more than three fields in a context where the system only allows a maximum of three fields. Typically, this happens in scenarios such as defining selection criteria, sorting fields, or key fields in certain SAP transactions or reports where the system restricts the number of fields to three.
  For example, in some SAP modules or reports, when you define a variant or a selection screen, you might be limited to specifying only up to three fields for sorting or filtering. If you enter more than three, the system throws the VR001 error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Limit the number of fields to three or fewer: Review the fields you have specified and reduce them to a maximum of three.
  Prioritize fields: Choose the most important fields that are necessary for your selection or sorting criteria.
  Check the configuration or program documentation: Sometimes, the limitation is by design. If you need more fields, check if there is an alternative approach or a different transaction/report that supports more fields.
  Contact SAP support or your SAP administrator: If you believe the limitation is too restrictive for your business process, consult with your SAP support team to explore possible enhancements or workarounds.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in selection variants, sorting criteria, or key field definitions.
  The limitation is often due to performance considerations or design constraints in the SAP system.
  If you encounter this error in a custom program, the developer might have implemented this restriction explicitly.
  Always refer to the specific transaction or module documentation for detailed field limitations.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  VR001 means you have specified more than three fields where only up to three are allowed. To fix it, reduce the number of specified fields to three or fewer.
