• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AH852 - Upper limit of interval &1 must be >= time basis of &2 days ?

  The SAP error message AH852 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the time intervals set for a specific process or function in the system. Specifically, the error states that the upper limit of the interval (denoted as &1) must be greater than or equal to the time basis (denoted as &2) in days. This typically occurs in scenarios involving scheduling, planning, or time-based configurations.
