Symptom
- While attempting to change the payment method for supplier line items in bulk using the Manage Supplier Line Items app, the system restricts the selection to a maximum of 50 line items at a time.
- This warning message is displayed - "Selection Limit : In this table you cannot add more than 50 items to your selection at a time"
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
-
Open the Manage Supplier Line Items app.
-
Apply the required filters to display a large number of supplier line items.
-
Select multiple line items using the checkbox selection option.
-
Attempt to select more than 50 line items at once.
-
Observe that the system prevents selecting more than 50 items and displays the warning message regarding the selection limit.
Cause
- This restriction is part of the standard system design in SAP S/4HANA Cloud and is implemented for performance and stability reasons.
- The app is designed to handle smaller-scale updates, and mass changes involving thousands of line items are not supported within a single selection to prevent system timeouts and performance degradation.
Resolution
- To update payment methods for a large number of supplier line items, the changes must be performed in multiple batches, selecting up to 50 items at a time.
- Requests for additional functionality can be submitted through the SAP Customer Influence portal, as described in KBA 0002963059.
