  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_AT_GENERATE108
  
  Text: Maximum &1 criteria allowed for allocation table grouping (&2 selected)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or generate an allocation table grouping with more criteria than the system allows. The allocation table grouping is used in SAP to group data based on certain criteria for allocation purposes (e.g., cost allocation, settlement rules). However, there is a system-defined limit on how many criteria you can use for grouping.
  
  &1 = Maximum number of criteria allowed  
  &2 = Number of criteria you have selected (which exceeds the maximum)
  
  The system restricts the number of grouping criteria to ensure performance and manageability of allocation tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce the number of grouping criteria:
  
  Review the criteria you have selected for the allocation table grouping and reduce them to the maximum allowed number or fewer.
  
  
  Check system settings or configuration:  
  
  Sometimes, the maximum number of criteria allowed is defined in customizing or system parameters.  
  Consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to see if this limit can be adjusted (though this is rarely recommended due to performance reasons).
  
  
  
  Optimize grouping logic:  
  
  Try to combine or simplify criteria to reduce the total number.  
  Use hierarchical or aggregated criteria if possible.
