Mass Maintenance Processing Mode Message "you fave selected X records"

[Former Member]

When processing a large number of articles in mass maintence (MM46), a process mode message appears stating that "You Fave Selected X Records", requesting that All articles be displayed, Change in background or cancel.

How and where can I change the setting to increase the number (or set an unlimited value) of articles for this?

(note X denotes the number of records)

Thanks in advanced

Hi all, the steps are as follows:

Go into MM46 and proceed to the Data Records to be Changed screen.

Then from the menu, select Go to> User Defaults, and change the user defaults to a larger number i.e. 9,999,999

hi, have not directly worked on retail related mass maintenace transaction but i beleive this works same as MM17 and message you are getting  - "You have Selected X Records" is correct and X should represent all the avaialble materials based on your condition in MM46 initial screen. Check if number of records appearing in this message is same as what you get from SE16 - MAW1 table.

whay do you think MM46 is showing less number of entries then what you should have? any basis for this?

Yogesh,

Your comments is correct regarding MM17.

I am lead to believe there is an administrative setting that can be changed to enable more records to be displayed (without the warning message appearing) - but I am unsure of where this setting can be changed.

Lisa, once again - how do you know your message is not showing complete list of materials? or are you saying that when you select "Display all records" option it does not show you all the records?

The message is displaying the complete list of articles, and when tyhe "Display all records" option is selected, all records are displayed.

What I am saying is that I believe there is an Administration setting, that can be adjusted so that the the processing mode message does not appear at all - and I would like to know how to do this.

I dont think there is an admin setting or even a restriction.

SAP is just calculating the potential maximum number of records according to the join that is created in background based on the selection criteria you entered.

It can be a very high number in calculation , and SAP actually reads this number of records in memory, but finally it may presents less according to other fields in your selection.

this pop-up is a warning, you should think about the number, can it be correct? if yes continue, if not then cancel and do a better selection.
