What causes this issue?

For reasons of performance, you can specify the maximum number of hits
when accessing the conversion table in the Euro Workbench. When you
first go into the Euro Workbench, only 200 records are selected. You
can, however, change the maximum number of hits in the Workbench. If
you select "Refresh", a new selection is performed, taking the current
maximum number of hits into account.
A maximum number of &V2& hits is currently selected. The total number
of conversion items displayed in the Euro Workbench (here, &V1&) can
differ from the maximum number of hits (here, &V2&).
The total number of items displayed is <ZH>higher</> than the maximum
number of hits:
If the user is, for example, entered as both an agent and a coordinator
in a record in the conversion table, this is counted twice for the
displayed item. The reason for this is that the user has to perform
activities for both roles.
The total number of displayed items is <ZH>lower</> than the maximum
number of hits:
Items with status "D" are only taken into account by the display
function in certain circumstances, but still have to be read from the
database.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV613 - Number of changeover items has been reduced to &1. ?

  The SAP error message WV613, which states "Number of changeover items has been reduced to &1," typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling, particularly when dealing with changeovers in manufacturing processes. This message indicates that the system has automatically adjusted the number of changeover items based on certain criteria or settings.
  Cause:
  
  Changeover Strategy: The system may have a defined changeover strategy that limits the number of changeovers based on production efficiency or resource availability.
  Capacity Constraints: If there are capacity constraints in the production process, the system may reduce the number of changeover items to optimize resource utilization.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the production planning module may dictate how many changeovers can occur within a certain timeframe or production run.
  Material Availability: If certain materials are not available or if there are issues with inventory, the system may reduce the number of changeovers to align with what can realistically be produced.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changeover Strategy: Check the changeover strategy settings in the production planning configuration. Adjust the strategy if necessary to allow for more changeovers if that aligns with your production goals.
  Analyze Capacity: Review the capacity of your production resources. If there are constraints, consider optimizing the production schedule or increasing capacity where possible.
  Check Material Availability: Ensure that all necessary materials are available for the planned production runs. Address any inventory issues that may be causing the reduction in changeover items.
  Adjust Configuration Settings: If the configuration settings are too restrictive, consider adjusting them to allow for a higher number of changeovers based on your operational needs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the WV613 message and related configuration settings.
