  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_CUST000 - Maximum number of fields has been reached. Field &1 won't be saved. ?

    The SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_CUST000 indicates that the maximum number of fields allowed in a certain data structure has been reached, and as a result, the field specified (denoted as &1) cannot be saved. This typically occurs in the context of customizing or extending data structures in SAP, particularly in the area of data storage or custom fields.

    Cause:

    1. Field Limit Exceeded: Each data structure in SAP has a predefined limit on the number of fields it can contain. When you attempt to add more fields than allowed, this error is triggered.
    2. Custom Fields: If you are trying to add custom fields to a standard SAP table or structure, you may hit the limit imposed by SAP.
    3. Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the system may not be optimized, leading to unnecessary field usage.

    Solution:

    1. Review Field Usage: Check the fields that are currently defined in the structure. Determine if there are any fields that can be removed or consolidated.
    2. Optimize Data Structure: If possible, consider redesigning the data structure to use fewer fields or to combine related data into fewer fields.
    3. Use Append Structures: If you are working with a standard SAP table, consider using append structures to add custom fields. However, be aware that there are still limits on the total number of fields.
    4. Check SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue. SAP frequently releases updates and notes that can provide guidance on handling such limitations.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the limitations and best practices for extending data structures.
    6. Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a solution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Field Limits: The maximum number of fields allowed in a structure can vary based on the specific SAP version and the type of data structure (e.g., database tables, structures).
    • Performance Considerations: Adding too many fields can also impact performance, so it's essential to keep data structures as lean as possible.
    • Data Dictionary: Familiarize yourself with the Data Dictionary (SE11) in SAP, where you can view and manage data structures, tables, and fields.

    By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your data structures more effectively in SAP.
