• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XW230 - Selection restricted to &1 hits ?

  The SAP error message XW230: Selection restricted to &1 hits typically occurs when a query or selection in an SAP system returns a large number of records, and the system restricts the output to a predefined limit for performance reasons. This is a common scenario in reports or transactions that can potentially return a large dataset.
  
  Cause:
  
  Large Dataset: The query or selection criteria you have used results in a large number of records being retrieved.
  System Settings: The system is configured to limit the number of records returned to avoid performance issues. This limit is often set in the system parameters or within the specific transaction/report settings.
  User Authorizations: Sometimes, user authorizations can also restrict the number of records displayed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Modify your selection criteria to be more specific. This can help reduce the number of records returned and may allow you to see the results you need without hitting the limit.
