• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_LIST002 - Number of selected documents (&) is smaller maximum (&) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_LIST002
  
  Text: Number of selected documents (&) is smaller than maximum (&)
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you run a report or transaction that selects a number of documents (e.g., invoices, payments, etc.) but the number of documents selected is less than the maximum number allowed or expected by the program or report parameters.
  In other words, the program expects to process up to a certain maximum number of documents, but the actual number of documents found or selected is smaller than this maximum. This is often informational or a warning rather than a critical error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When running reports or programs that process document lists with a maximum limit set.
  When the selection criteria result in fewer documents than the maximum number defined.
  In payment runs, clearing runs, or list generation where a maximum number of documents is predefined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the selection criteria: Verify if the selection parameters are correct and whether they are too restrictive, causing fewer documents to be selected.
  Adjust the maximum number: If the maximum number of documents is set manually or by default, you can increase or decrease it according to your needs.
  Ignore if informational: If the message is just informational and does not stop processing, you can usually ignore it.
  Review program logic: If you are a developer or have access to the program, check if the maximum number parameter is set correctly and whether the message is handled properly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is often seen in financial modules such as FI (Financial Accounting), especially in payment processing or clearing transactions.
  It is not an error that stops processing but a warning or info message.
  The message variables (&) represent:
  
  The actual number of documents selected.
  The maximum number of documents expected or allowed.
  
  
  
  
  Example:
  If the maximum number of documents allowed is 100, but only 50 documents meet the selection criteria, the message will say:
  
  "Number of selected documents (50) is smaller than maximum (100)"
  
  If you want to avoid this message, ensure your selection criteria are broad enough to select the maximum number of documents or adjust the maximum number parameter accordingly.
