  SAP Message W8812
  Message Text:
  
  &1 from &2 entries will be displayed
  
  1. Cause
  This message is an informational warning (note the message class W, which stands for warning) rather than an error. It typically appears when a user requests to display or process a large number of entries or records, but the system limits the output to a smaller subset for performance or usability reasons.
  
  &1 = Number of entries that will actually be displayed.
  &2 = Total number of entries found or requested.
  
  For example, if you request to display 1000 entries but the system is set to show only 500 at a time, the message will say:
  
  500 from 1000 entries will be displayed
  This is a safeguard to prevent performance degradation or overwhelming the user with too much data at once.
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Understand the limitation: This message is informational and does not indicate an error. It informs you that only a subset of the total entries will be shown.
  
  
  Adjust display limits:
  
  If you want to see more entries, you can try the following:
  
  Check if there is a maximum number of hits or display limit set in the selection screen or user parameters.
  Increase the maximum number of hits in the selection screen if allowed.
  Use filters to reduce the number of entries retrieved.
  Use SAP transaction or report variants to limit the data scope.
  
  
  
  Performance considerations:
  
  Be cautious when increasing the number of displayed entries, as it may impact system performance and response time.
  
  
  Technical adjustment (if necessary):
  
  In some cases, the maximum number of hits is controlled by a parameter or setting in the program or report. A developer or system administrator can adjust this if business requirements justify it.
  
  
  
  3. Related Information

  SAP Notes:
