  Error Message
  WL002: Number of entries in checklist is not within permitted limits
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the number of entries (items) in a checklist exceeds or falls below the allowed limits defined in the system. In SAP, checklists are used in various modules (e.g., Quality Management, Plant Maintenance, etc.) to ensure certain criteria or steps are met. Each checklist type or configuration has a predefined minimum and maximum number of entries allowed.
  Common causes include:
  
  Attempting to save or process a checklist with too many or too few entries.
  Customizing or configuration settings that restrict the number of checklist entries.
  Data inconsistencies or incorrect data input leading to violation of these limits.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WL002 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Number of Entries:
  
  Review the checklist entries you are trying to save or process.
  Ensure the number of entries is within the allowed minimum and maximum limits.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing settings for the checklist type or the relevant object.
  Check the allowed minimum and maximum number of entries.
  Transaction codes or IMG paths depend on the module, for example:
  
  For Quality Management (QM): SPRO ? Quality Management ? Quality Planning ? Inspection Planning ? Define Checklists.
  For Plant Maintenance (PM): SPRO ? Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ? Maintenance Processing ? Maintenance Task Lists ? Define Checklists.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Entries or Configuration:
  
  If the number of entries is too high, remove unnecessary entries.
  If too low, add the required number of entries.
  If the limits are too restrictive, and business process allows, adjust the minimum/maximum limits in customizing.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Verify that the checklist entries are correctly maintained and no duplicate or invalid entries exist.
  
  
  
  Transport and Authorization:
  
  Ensure that any changes in customizing are transported properly.
  Check user authorizations to maintain or process checklists.
