• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH077 - Maximum no. of item per document will be set to 300 (max. allowed value) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WH077:
  
  SAP Message: WH077
  Text: Maximum no. of item per document will be set to 300 (max. allowed value)
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you try to create or process a warehouse document (e.g., transfer order, delivery, or material document) that contains more than 300 items. SAP Warehouse Management (WM) has a system-imposed limit on the maximum number of items per warehouse document, which is 300 by default and also the maximum allowed value.
  When the number of items exceeds this limit, SAP automatically sets the maximum number of items per document to 300 and issues this message.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The maximum number of items per warehouse document is controlled by a system parameter.
  The limit is set to 300 items per document in SAP WM.
  This limit is hard-coded and cannot be increased beyond 300.
  The message is informational, indicating that the system will restrict the number of items to 300.
  
  
  Solution / Workaround:
  Since the maximum allowed value is 300 and cannot be increased, you have the following options:
  
  
  Split the document into multiple smaller documents:
  
  Instead of processing all items in a single warehouse document, split the items into multiple documents, each containing no more than 300 items.
  This can be done manually or by customizing the process that creates the warehouse documents.
  
  
  
  Review and optimize the process:
  
  Check if the business process can be optimized to avoid creating very large warehouse documents.
  For example, process deliveries or transfer orders in smaller batches.
  
  
  
  Custom development (not recommended):
  
  Technically, increasing this limit would require changes in the SAP standard code, which is not supported and not recommended.
  Always follow SAP best practices and avoid modifying standard limits.

  SAP Notes:  
  
  There might be SAP Notes related to performance or handling large documents, but none increase this limit beyond 300.
  
  
  Configuration:  
  
  No IMG setting exists to increase this limit beyond 300.
  
  
  Performance considerations:  
  
  Large warehouse documents can impact system performance and processing time.
  Splitting documents helps maintain system stability.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WH077 is an informational message indicating the system limit of 300 items per warehouse document.
  The limit cannot be increased.
  The recommended approach is to split large documents into smaller ones with 300 or fewer items.
