  The SAP error message AH722 ("Before making selection, specify a from-date") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires a date range, but the "from-date" field has not been filled in. This error is common in various SAP modules, especially in reporting transactions where date parameters are essential for filtering data.

  Review Transaction Documentation: If you are unsure about the required fields, refer to the documentation or help section for the specific transaction or report you are using.
  Consult with IT Support: If the issue persists even after entering the date, it may be beneficial to consult with your IT support team or SAP administrator to check for any configuration issues or system errors.
