• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >4066 - Do not enter a value range when selecting relations ?

  The SAP error message 4066 ("Do not enter a value range when selecting relations") typically occurs when you are trying to use a value range in a selection screen where it is not allowed, particularly in the context of relational database queries or selection criteria.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Use of Value Ranges: You may be trying to specify a value range (e.g., using >= and <=) for a field that is not designed to accept ranges, such as a field that expects a single value or a specific type of input.
  Selection Criteria Misconfiguration: The selection criteria for a report or transaction may have been incorrectly configured, leading to the system rejecting the input.
  Field Type Mismatch: The field you are trying to filter on may not support value ranges due to its data type or the way it is defined in the database.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Fields: Review the selection screen and ensure that you are not entering a value range for fields that do not support it. Use single values instead of ranges where applicable.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the documentation for the specific transaction or report you are using to understand the expected input formats for each field.
  
  
  Modify Selection Criteria: If you are developing or customizing a report, check the selection criteria in the ABAP code. Ensure that the fields are defined correctly and that you are not using value ranges where they are not allowed.
  
  
  Test with Different Values: Try running the report or transaction with different input values to see if the error persists. This can help isolate the problematic field.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
