• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 54109 - Minimum days must be <= maximum days ?

  The SAP error message 54109, which states "Minimum days must be <= maximum days," typically occurs in the context of configuration settings related to time management, such as leave requests, absence types, or other time-related parameters in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration of minimum and maximum days for a specific time-related parameter. For example, if you are setting up a leave type and you specify a minimum number of days that is greater than the maximum number of days allowed, SAP will trigger this error to prevent inconsistent data entry.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration settings for the relevant time management area. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area, typically found under SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) > IMG (Implementation Guide) > Time Management > Absences or Leave Management.
  
  
  
  Check the Absence Type:
  
  Look for the specific absence type or time management parameter that is causing the error.
  Verify the settings for minimum and maximum days. Ensure that the minimum days value is less than or equal to the maximum days value.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  If you find that the minimum days are incorrectly set to a value greater than the maximum days, adjust the values accordingly.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the adjustments, test the configuration by attempting to create or process the leave request or time entry again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PT50 (Time Evaluation) to test the changes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring time management and absence types.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the configuration settings.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or HR module team for further investigation, as there could be additional dependencies or settings affecting the behavior.
