The SAP error message
/BSNAGT/MESSAGE286 &1 entries selected
typically indicates that a certain operation or process has selected a specific number of entries (denoted by&1
) from a database or dataset, but it may not be able to process them as expected. This message is often related to the Business Partner (BP) or similar data management processes in SAP.Cause:
- Data Volume: The error may occur when a large number of entries are selected, which could exceed system limits or thresholds for processing.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that limit the number of entries that can be processed at one time.
- Performance Issues: The system may be experiencing performance issues, leading to timeouts or failures when processing large datasets.
- Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to process the selected entries.
Solution:
- Limit Selection: If possible, try to limit the number of entries selected in the operation. This can often be done by applying filters or criteria to reduce the dataset size.
- Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to the process you are executing. Ensure that any limits on the number of entries are set appropriately.
- Performance Tuning: If performance is an issue, consider optimizing the database or the specific transaction being executed. This may involve indexing, adjusting memory settings, or other performance tuning measures.
- Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to process the selected entries.
- Batch Processing: If the operation allows, consider processing the entries in smaller batches rather than all at once.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
