• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0CSRS028 - Enter a value lower than 16 for "Number of Items in Entry" ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W0CSRS028 – Enter a value lower than 16 for "Number of Items in Entry"
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to enter a value of 16 or more in the field "Number of Items in Entry" during a certain SAP transaction or process (often related to batch input, data entry, or specific SAP modules like CS, PM, or MM). The system restricts the number of items to less than 16 because the underlying program or screen layout is designed to handle a maximum of 15 items at a time.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The field "Number of Items in Entry" controls how many line items or entries you want to process or display.
  The system or program logic limits this number to 15 to avoid performance issues, screen layout problems, or data processing errors.
  Entering 16 or more exceeds this limit, triggering the warning message.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter a value less than 16 in the "Number of Items in Entry" field.
  If you need to process more than 15 items, split your entries into multiple batches, each with 15 or fewer items.
  Check if there is a configuration or program parameter that can be adjusted to increase this limit (rare and usually not recommended without consulting SAP support or development).
  Review the documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or program to understand if there is a way to handle larger numbers of items.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so it may allow you to continue after correction.
  The limitation is often due to screen design or internal table sizes in the program.
  If you are a developer or have access to ABAP code, you can check the program logic where this field is validated.
  For batch input or mass processing, consider using standard SAP tools designed for large volumes (e.g., LSMW, BAPIs, or IDocs) instead of manual entry.
  If this message appears in a custom program, consult the developer to see if the limit can be increased safely.
